Going over what you posted before in your reply quickly…
Yes, I read that in the API documentation… I am retrieving the “_id” from the member whose tile is " in a wix data query of the members database… isn’t that what the comment “//get contact ID” means???
in a wix data query of the members database
You can’t use Wix CRM on a site members dataset as Wix CRM is just for Contacts only, that is one reason why you can’t get the contact ID.
If you want to use the Site Members dataset, then you need to be using Wix Users instead.
Especially as you say that the triggered emails are going to 6 officers of the club,
What’s the difference between wix-crm and wix-users?
The CRM API contains functionality for working with your site’s contacts. The Users API contains functionality for working with users who are logged-in members. Note that all members are also contacts, but contacts are not necessarily members.
You can easily get the user ID of the member as it will already be listed in your dataset for you.

If you have the database with userID as a key field then you should see the userID. If you don’t see it then goto your database and click “Visible Fields” and check the ID box, this will show the userID field.
Anyways, hopefully the Wix Consultant helps you out with it and it isn’t too costly for you.
