I did some more digging and it seems my use of the expression to grab the channel ID is the same one that was suggested by @RicardoE105 in another thread.
You should be able to do it with
{{$node["name of the node"].json["channelId"]}}
I found an existing Github issue which documents the same error I am running into.
“User IDs” expects an Array. So you have to write
{{ [$node....] }}
This helped me narrow down my issue to actually being with the expression I used inside the “User IDs” being the cause of the error.
Changing my expression from
{{$node["Check User's Email"].json["user"]["id"]}}
to
{{ [ $node["Check User's Email"].json["user"]["id"] ] }}
solved my issue.
That said, I do still get a warning despite it working.
The value “[Array: [“U038MK3JPEE”]]” is not supported!
