Dear Community,  
I have encountered an issue in which the CRM won’t let me send an E-Mail to a contact directly from the contact preview in the Contacts sheet.  
When I press the Email circle the attached error shows up:

 ![Screenshot 2024-09-04 at 11.17.36 AM.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/8/8879ee0ff95d7d1af69f047df1af5ad5745a6885.png)

Any help is appreciated! Thank you

Thanks for flagging this error [@BRancaño](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/814923) -- I was able to reproduce this on my own account and I see our internal team has been notified. I will get back to you here as soon as I have more information! I appreciate your patience 😊

In the meantime, you should be able to successfully send an email from the contact record itself.

Best,  
Kennedy

Thank you for your response Kennedy! I await further information then, as this error pretty much slows down my whole workflow.  
Contacting each contact through the contact record is a really slow process.  
Thank you once again,  
Bruno

Hello Kennedy,

I also have a user who is experiencing this exact issue. This seems to be the only user (that I know of) that is experiencing this in our organization. So I will patiently wait for a response as well. Thanks 😊

So glad to hear it is resolved on your end [@BRancaño](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/814923)! Thank you for the update.  
[@Joe\_Vegas\_Tech](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/821824) -- are you still experiencing this? I still have an open case internally. If so, let me know!
