Triggered email to contacts with code. Please Help!!

Hi all, I have a triggered email that I would like sent when a guest on the site completes the contact form. I have reviewed the tutorial located here:

From my understanding, the code creates a new contact and then sends a saved shoutout “triggered email”. However, the code is not working to create a contact or send the email. I’m sure it’s something wrong on my end but cannot get it to work! I have made sure that each field and input is correctly named to correspond with my custom contact form (#input1 #input2 etc), that the field name (“firstName” “emails”) exists as a title heading in my contacts database, used the triggered email code “QsHtGhN” for the triggered shoutout I created, and have followed all instructions. Extrememly frustrated! Code I’m using is:

import wixCRM from ‘wix-crm’;

$w.onReady(function () {

});

export function button3_click_1(event, $w) {
wixCRM.createContact({
“firstName”: $w(‘#input1’).value,
“emails”: [$w(“#input2”).value],
“lastName”: $w(“#input5”).value
})
.then((contactId) => {
wixCRM.emailContact(“QsHtGhN”, contactId, {
“variables”: {
“firstName”: $w(‘#input1’).value,
“emails”: $w(“#input2”).value
}
})
.then(() => {
// do something after the email was sent
})
.catch((err) => {
// handle the error if the email wasn’t sent
});
});
}

Hey
I don’t believe that wixCRM works just yet. I tested to create a contact and it did not work.

I am having a similar problem. My code shown below fails on the call to createContact(). The uninformative error message is also shown below. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,

Error calling createContact(): internal_error, details: {} (500)

export function sendEmailButton_click(event, $w) {
	console.log('sendEmailButton clicked');
	const emailStr = $w("#email").value;
	console.log('email address entered = ' + emailStr);

	// Calling createContact() performs one of the following. 
	//	(The contact information specified in the contactInfo parameter matches 
	//	an existing contact if it contains an email address or phone number 
	//	from an existing contact.)
	// If there is a matching existing contact, it is updated with the information 
	// specified using the contactInfo parameter. Any existing contact information 
	// that is not explicity overriden in the contactInfo parameter retains its 
	// existing value.

      "emails": [$w("#email").value]
    } )
    .then ( (contactId) => {
		console.log('createContact() successful');
		console.log('contactID: '+contactId);

		wixCRM.emailContact("assesstrigger", contactId)  
			.then( () => {
				console.log("Triggered email sent");
			} )
			.catch( (err) => {
				console.log(err);

	} )
	.catch( (err) => {
		console.log('Error calling createContact(): ' + err);
	} );
