- **HTTP status**: `422`
- **Type**: `validation_error`
- **Name**: `EmailTemplateContactUnavailable`

## What to do

`bird.contact.<attribute>` reads the recipient's contact record, which a send addressed to an email address does not have. Send this template as a broadcast to an audience, or rewrite those values as parameters the send supplies.
