[expression] get around to do sth/doing sth?

Dear Users,

If I want to use the expression to get around to should I follow it with a to-infinitive or a gerund?

For instance:

I haven't been able to get around to send him an email.
or
I haven't been able to get around sending him an email.

Thanks

You should follow it with the gerund, but you need to there anyway. I haven't been able to get around to sending him an email.
