But why wasn't it used in the answer to the question about email (I just sent you an email)?

i think it's not essential because of 刚才 correct me if i'm wrong. but they won't accept an answer without 了here though.

You have to add 了 after 给 or 发 hence 发 just means send. Futhermore is more correct to add 一个 before 短信 because this sentece is precisely about A message and not messageS

我刚给你发短信 in my uneducated opinion this should be accepted.. am i wrong? after this i tried adding 一个, but that didn't do the trick.. after that i also added 了 i think just the 了 missing was what caused this to be marked wrong (though i also had 一个 still in there the last time) but with other sentences on here i learned that 了was not necessary with 刚(才)

了 can appear at the end of the sentence instead of right after the verb and should be accepted as correct
