EE Freeform {exp:email:contact_form} error

Question

I downloaded Freeform from Solspace free version and with Expression Engine 3, when trying to submit the form I get this error. Email is not part of the form and I don't get why this is happening.

Error
The following tag has a syntax error:
{exp:email:contact_form}
Please correct the syntax in your template.

Form Code:

{exp:freeform:form collection="contact" return="contact/thanks"}
                <ul>
                    <li>
                        <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required placeholder="Your Full Name"/>
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <input type="text" id="number" name="number" required placeholder="Phone Number"/>
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <textarea id="user_message" name="user_message" required placeholder="Your Message"></textarea>
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <input type="submit" class="btn" value="Send Message"/>
                    </li>
                </ul>
            {/exp:freeform:form}

Any ideas? The strange thing is that when I check EE CP I get the emails there but don't get notification via email.

Answer 1

The core version of EE3 does not include the email module. So the system doesn't recognize the tag and passes back an error.
