  <p>i have finally set up my Checksum for profile update. However when link is clicked inside email i am getting this message-
  "This profile is configured for contact type 'Individual'. It cannot be used to edit contacts of other types.
  If I disable the Fist Name and Last Name fields for that profile it works. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way around this as i really need to have a First Name Last Name.</p>
