Currently Meshblu supports two types of forwarders, Meshblu and Webhook. When a Meshblu device emits a message, broadcast, or configuration change, Meshblu will automatically forward the message to another Meshblu device or a webhook.
Webhook Example
In this case, Device A has a forwarder set up to a web service (e.g. Github or Slack). The web service will receive a HTTP POST request containing the message as the HTTP body and metadata as X-MESHBLU headers.

"meshblu": {
"forwarders": {
"broadcast": {
"sent": [
{
"type": "webhook",
"url": "http://requestb.in/18gkt511",
"method": "POST"
}
]
}
}
}
}
Meshblu Example
Meshblu forwarders allow a message to be mapped into a message of a different type.
Device A will send a broadcast, that will be transformed into a message.sent from Device A. Device B will then receive a copy of that message sent from Device A.
