 AbstractSendAutomator

 The AbstractAutomator can receive information, either from OSM or from an external system.
 The AbstractSendAutomator inherits this ability, so it can also receive information from OSM or from an external system;
 however, it can also send information. If the custom automation plug-in you are writing is to send a message,
 it should extend the AbstractSendAutomator class; otherwise, it should extend the AbstractAutomator class
