Email alerts for calendar events stopped working after macOS Sequoia 15.3 update on Mac

I used to get email notifications for the event on my calendar as alerts for sending the emails to myself before I updated OS to Sequia 15.3. Before updated I just needed to click on EMAIL from the dropdown list for an alert, and then I always received email notifications for the events.


Ever after my MacBook was updated to Sequia, I am always asked to "add a contact card" after I clicked on adding an EMAIL alert from the dropdown list. Then, the Contacts pops up. I choose my own card, but after that, nothing happens. There is no confirmation button or any options to choose from what I am going to do, or even an OK button to process the email alert setup. Then, everything just ends there. Nothing happens.


Please help. Thanks

Hello chuehhh,


I just did a test on macOS Sequoia 15.3.1. When I chose a email alert, the popup immediately selected one of my email addresses (the one assigned to the "home" field in Contacts):



(I could also select another email address in the dropdown.) I clicked OK and I received the email alert.


I'm wondering if your contact sheet is properly selected in Contacts.


In Contacts, select another contact (at random), click Card > Make This My Card, then select yourself and click Card > Make This My Card. This should reset your contact sheet.
