**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: 5.0.3  
My PHP version is: 8.1.27  
My Database type and version is: MySQL 8.0.36

**Your problem**  
My problem is: I’d like to send an email to the owner of a contact via an external system via REST API. Background: That external system triggers an event about which I’d like to inform the owner. From the [REST API documentation about sending emails](https://developer.mautic.org/#send-email-to-contact) I find only ways to send an email to a contact but not to its owner/a user (or to an arbitrary email address).

How can I send an email to a contact owner via REST API?

Thank you!  
Thomas
