Create a new IFTTT script to see camera live view whenever motion is detected

For now, there is no such script for me to use. I'd like to see the live view on my Echo Show whenever there is motion detected on my camera. It's is helpful when somebody is on my door -- I don't have to wait for the door bell, and don't have to ask Alexa to show me the frontdoor.

Agreed!

Actually, while this would be good, a simple text message image or notification with a photo of what triggered the motion would seem to far easier and useful.  i.e. on my system I get a notification within about 2 secs of the event but to see what caused the notification I either have to wait for the email, open that, click the link or log into the arlo app and look at the library.  Either way, best case it takes at least 10 secs (probably more like 15secs) to view what caused the event when really all I want to see is what caused the event..(i.e. who is at the front door etc) and a simple one frame image would show that.    The still image I see in the email notification in most cases shows the basic trigger of the event.  If that image appeared as a notification immediately then one could then decide whether friend or foe and investigate further as the case maybe.

I want to see my cameras live on a screen in my kitchen while the dogs run in the garden, is there a solution?

I would love to see the script as well.
