Hi Ross,

I noticed a couple of issues with your example:

  1. The argument of wixCRM.createContact has a predefined set of fields it recognizes. In your case, First Name , Last Name , Email should be firstName , lastName , emails (note, emails is an array).

  2. Is Verify a valid triggered email ID? I created a triggered email and my autogenerated ID was R5bgzfr .

I used your code to recreate the example and it worked for me (replace R5bgzfr with your ID):

import wixCRM from "wix-crm";

$w.onReady(() => {});

export function button1_click(event, $w) {
  const contactInfo = {
    // https://www.wix.com/code/reference/wix-crm.html#ContactInfo
    firstName: $w("#input1").value,
    lastName: $w("#input2").value,
    emails: [$w("#input14").value]
  };

  const contactId = wixCRM.createContact(contactInfo).then(
    contactId => {
      console.log(`Contact ${contactId} has been created.`);

      const triggeredEmailId = "R5bgzfr"; // https://support.wix.com/en/article/creating-a-triggered-email
      const triggeredEmailOptions = {
        variables: {
          subscribername: $w("#input1").value
        }
      };

      return wixCRM
        .emailContact(triggeredEmailId, contactId, triggeredEmailOptions)
        .then(
          () => {
            console.log(`Triggered email ${triggeredEmailId} has been sent.`);
          },
          error => {
            console.error("An error occured while emailing the contact.", error);
          }
        );
    },
    error => {
      console.error("An error occured while creating a contact.", error);
    }
  );
}

I added logging. Open Developer Console in preview (or the console of your browser developer tools) to see them.

Also note that sending an email doesn’t work in Editor’s preview - it only works on a published website. While creating a contact does work in the preview.
