Hello! First gues, might be wrong. I don’t see code where you getting those id and email of current user

Based on code you pasted, you’re just filling in empty values
You first define variable (let userId), then gather object from it - but it’s empty

https://www.wix.com/code/reference/wix-users.html#currentUser

You should change “let userID; let userEmail” to smth like this:

let user = wixUsers.currentUser;
let userId = user.id;           
user.getEmail()
  .then( (email) => {
    let userEmail = email;      
  } );

and, add

 import wixUsers from 'wix-users';

in order to use this module

Hi, thanks for your replay,
I have the 'wix-users’at the begging of the code with Onready() so Im getting the current user as the page loads. And thats also the reason the user Id is being inserted. but the problem is with the user email.
what else can it be?

I see “let userEmail” at the beginning of the function. Doing this makes this variable undefined
Like this - https://www.screencast.com/t/aHimPZlygrk

Can you try to add

console.log(userId);
console.log(userEmail);

right after

let userId;
let userEmail;

My guess it will be undefined
Anyway, i could mistake)

Hi, just checking here again… Is there any other idea on how to insert usrers email?

Hi Faidda,

I took a look at your test page code.
Your code assumes that theres a user logged in.
You should verify it by using ‘loggedIn’ flag.

const user = wixUsers.currentUser;
if (user.loggedIn) {
    user.getEmail().then(email => {
        //do insert here.
    })
}

Let me know how it goes :slight_smile:
