What triggers this warning?
When you encounter this specific block message preventing you from saving your page, it indicates a structural logic error. The system detects a conflict between what a button on your page is instructed to do, and the form fields that are actually present on the canvas.
This conflict typically stems from one of two possible configuration errors.
Error 1: The email field is missing from your form
If you have configured a button to execute a Send form action, the SystemeScale database expects to receive customer data. Because an email address is the unique mandatory identifier for every contact in the system, you cannot submit a form without it.
1
Verify the Button Action
Click on your button element. If the action in the left panel is set to Submit form (or Send form), you have instructed the system to capture a lead.
2
Add the Missing Field
To resolve the error, you must drag a Form Input element from the left panel onto your page, placing it above your submit button. Contacts must have a place to enter their email address.

Error 2: Incorrect configuration of existing elements
If you already have an input box on your page, or if you don't even intend to collect emails in the first place, the error is caused by a settings mismatch.
A
Check the Input Type variable
If your page has a form field, click on it to open its settings. Locate the Input type dropdown menu. If it is set to "First Name" or "Custom", the system does not recognize it as an email collector. You must explicitly set at least one input field's type to Email.
B
Correct the Button Action
If your goal is not to collect an email address (for example, you just want the button to act as a simple hyperlink to another page), then your button is configured incorrectly. Change the Button action dropdown from "Submit form" to Open URL or Next step URL. This removes the requirement for an email field entirely.

Once you align your button actions with the actual form elements present on your layout, you can click Save without triggering the error block.
