as long as the graphic geometry type matches what is published in your feature service you can call featureLayer.applyEdits() and pass it in within the 'adds' parameter.
check out this sample for an example of the method in action.
I see what you are referring to in the sample: selectedTemplate.featureLayer.applyEdits([newGraphic], null, null);I am able to add the graphic to the map but it isn't saving to the feature layer. Am I missing something?? I am trying to combine the Draw Graphics on the map example with the example you posted a link to Above.
