Hello FreshDesk Team,

I found a bug when adding a contact.


Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open "New Contact" Modal
  2. Enter email with umlaut. ex. "mötley@crue.com"
  3. Fill out necessary fields.
  4. Click "Create" button.

Expected Result:
  • The contact is saved. (Umlaut characters are allowed in email addresses)
  • An appropriate error is displayed. ex: "The email contains illegal characters"

Actual Result:
  • The error "Another contact exists with the same email" is displayed.
