Hi Guys  
  
  
  
I’m trying to [send an email](https://developer.mautic.org/#send-email-to-contact) via the mautic api, but I keep getting the following error:

Code:

{ "errors": [{ "message": "Requested URL not found: /api/emails/343/send/contact/1233", "code": 404, "type": null }] }

  
I've checked the Email ID and Contact ID via the API, and they both exist. The email I'm trying to send was created via the API.  
  
  
Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Guys

I’m trying to [send an email](https://developer.mautic.org/#send-email-to-contact) via the mautic api, but I keep getting the following error:

`{
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Requested URL not found: /api/emails/343/send/contact/1233",
      "code": 404,
      "type": null
    }
  ]
} `

I’ve checked the Email ID and Contact ID via the API, and they both exist. The email I’m trying to send was created via the API.

Anyone else have this problem?

The documentation lists the send email call as a DELETE. This should be a POST, otherwise I get the error above.

whoa - 8 weeks to figure this out?

That makes me nervous for some of the plans I have for Mautic.

Have you found the rest of the API to be reliable?

Ragin, you do realize this is a community board and not some company’s support?

Also, I am thankful for anyone who posts solutions of encountered problems.

Best,  
D.

I didn’t spend too much time with it to be honest, as it wasn’t a top priority for me until now
