Passing a Message from a Chrome extension to an Autoit Application

I have Autoit Chrome extension that interacts with the Autoit application though nativeMessaging.  I am using the following code to get a message from Autoit to the extension: var port = chrome.runtime.connectNative('com.my_company.my_application'); port.onMessage.addListener(function(msg) { console.log("Received" + msg); }); And I then use this code to try and send a message from the extension to Autoit: var port = chrome.runtime.connect({name: "knockknock"}); port.postMessage({joke: "Knock knock"}); //or chrome.runtime.sendNativeMessage('com.my_company.my_application', { text: "Hello" }, function(response) { console.log("Received " + response); }); But how can I then make the Autoit application evaluate the messages sent from the extension?
