Here's an example that emails a notification with some statistics plus
the "best" motion frame as an attachment, but you can strip it down to
send only what you need.? It uses uuenview and msmtp but requires no
additional scripting -- this one line in the .config does it all.
I trigger when the best frame is saved, but if you're not sending the
image file you can trigger on the start of motion or whenever works best
for you.
I've been running like this for over a year on four different cameras
with nary an issue.
I hope this helps,
Rick

Glad I was able to help.? May not be quite the right way but as long as
it works!? As for the wrong directory, I was working on another
unrelated to Motion project with the RPi 400.? Valid sources said to
edit such-and-such file; didn't work.? Used /find/, found a few possible
files, was in a completely different directory and similar filename!
