## What it is
EH Forwarder Bot (EFB) is an extensible Python framework for tunneling chat messages between multiple messaging platforms, letting users receive and reply to accounts (e.g. WeChat, Telegram) from a single place. It works via a master/slave channel plugin architecture and supports remotely controlling your accounts.

## Use cases
- forward wechat messages to telegram
- manage multiple chat accounts from one app
- build a chat bridge between messaging platforms
- reply to messages on one platform from another
- remotely control my messaging accounts via a bot
- tunnel im notifications to a single chat

## When to choose
- you want to consolidate messages from several IM platforms into one chat
- you need a plugin-based, self-hosted message forwarding bot
- you want to script or extend chat tunneling in Python

## When to avoid
- you need a simple hosted notification service without self-hosting
- your target platform has no existing EFB slave channel plugin
- you need a production-supported product with active development (last release 2023)
