# --- Configuration ---
# These should ideally be passed as arguments or environment variables
# For simplicity in this example, they are hardcoded but it's better
# to pass them from Zabbix media type parameters for security.
# However, Zabbix passes parameters as command-line arguments.
# We'll retrieve them from Zabbix's parameters.

# Argument 1: Recipient's phone number (passed by Zabbix)
# Argument 2: Subject (passed by Zabbix - often the alert message)
# Argument 3: Message body (passed by Zabbix - often detailed alert info)

# These should be configured in Zabbix as parameters for the media type later
# or set as secure macros if your Zabbix version supports it well for scripts.
# For now, let's assume you will pass them as script parameters
# in the media type configuration.

# The script expects:
# $1 (to_number)
# $2 (subject - we'll use this as part of the message)
# $3 (message_body)
# $4 (TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID)
# $5 (TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN)
# $6 (TWILIO_FROM_NUMBER)
