The compose email action shows this when tested on MacBook. I need help in fixing this ASAP. I first used the share action, email was not part of the options it brought out. So I used the compose email action then it said the browser is preventing it from opening. I’ve tested chrome, edge and safari.

Can you check the action logs to see what it shows for your test runs?

Also, can you move the email action to the first place to see if it works?

Thanks the compose email action works when I moved it to the first place, but the copy to clipboard isn’t working again.

What happened was that there was nothing to copy, so I set the condition to make the button visible only when the column for what is to be copied is not empty.
