Get error MISSING\_SCOPES when trying to create marketing email by API with free account. With test account everything works as expected, with paid account also, but with usual free account we got error about missing scopes(in my case it’s scope **content** ).  
When I connected my app hubspot asks me about **content** scope and even after granting permission on free account I got error about missing scope.

Hey, @Illiah If I am understanding your issue correctly, this “content” scope error is happening with a free account but not with a paid portal, correct? If so, this is expected as the “content” scope is restricted to portals with CMS Hub or Marketing Hub Professional or Enterprise tiers.

`CMS Hub Professional or Enterprise or Marketing Hub Professional or Enterprise`
