The following is a sample custom_sender() function in health_alarm_notify.conf, to send an SMS via an imaginary HTTPS endpoint to the SMS gateway:
```
custom_sender() {
# example human readable SMS
local msg="${host} ${status_message}: ${alarm} ${raised_for}"
# limit it to 160 characters and encode it for use in a URL
urlencode "${msg:0:160}" >/dev/null; msg="${REPLY}"
# a space separated list of the recipients to send alarms to
to="${1}"
for phone in ${to}; do
httpcode=$(docurl -X POST \
--data-urlencode "From=XXX" \
--data-urlencode "To=${phone}" \
--data-urlencode "Body=${msg}" \
-u "${accountsid}:${accounttoken}" \
https://domain.website.com/)
if [ "${httpcode}" = "200" ]; then
info "sent custom notification ${msg} to ${phone}"
sent=$((sent + 1))
else
error "failed to send custom notification ${msg} to ${phone} with HTTP error code ${httpcode}."
