this is because the button channel is 5 and when channel 5 becomes 1 it runs:

which shutdown the raspberry pi.

when adding a button select channel as 6.

Yes,that is correct, but I added a new widget on channel 7 with a trigger that should send an email.
When I press this widget, the pi keep running, but no email is sent, and the trigger run 0 times
