Updating an Email Field with the Notion API

Using Notion API to create a page with an email field triggers a type mismatch error. Example:

{
  "parent": { "database_id": "db_example_456" },
  "properties": {
    "Email": { "email": "[email protected]" }
  }
}

I encountered a similar issue when working with the Notion API to update an email field. The problem turned out to be a subtle data structure mismatch rather than an outright type error in the email value itself. I carefully reviewed my request payload and noticed that the email property needed to be formatted exactly as specified in the API documentation. After making minor adjustments to ensure that the email string was properly encapsulated within the required JSON structure, the issue was resolved. Consistently reviewing the latest schema details in the documentation helped me avoid similar issues in the future.

I once faced a similar problem when attempting to update an email field using the Notion API. The key was realizing that the issue sometimes does not lie directly with the email value itself but with how the payload was constructed. In my case, I corrected a misnamed property and ensured the request strictly adhered to the API specification. Spending time with the documentation and verifying the JSON structure was crucial in overcoming the type mismatch error. Testing the request separately also helped me isolate the problem and validate the corrected format.
