Describe the issue/error/question
Hi there!
I am trying to manually connect to the Plutio API to create a company, following their API docs (Plutio API) and it states that the contactEmails must be of type Array. How can I change the type to an array?
What is the error message (if any)?
“status”: “rejected”,
“reason”: {
“message”: “400 - {“code”:400,“message”:“Contact emails must be of type Array”}”,
“name”: “Error”,
“stack”: "Error: Request failed with status code 400 at createError
Please share the workflow
Share the output returned by the last node
Information on your n8n setup
I know this isn’t a very complex issue I’m just having trouble searching for the answer on my own. Thanks in advance!

Just set the contactEmails value to an expression instead of a string.
Thank you @RicardoE105!
I’m trying to use a variable in this array, is there a way for me to make it work like this?
It’s pulling the information from a form to create a company for them.
I’m running into this same issue with the array required to add a name on create.person.
Yes, but remove the extra {{}}. it should be {{$node["webhook"].json["body"]["question-4"]["reply"]}}
But now I’m back to it sending it as a string, right?
Do it like this: {{[$node["webhook"].json["body"]["question-4"]["reply"]]}}
Thank you! That made it an array.
Unfortunately, now it’s just throwing a different error at me
Ahh, then you do not need to send an array of strings but rather an array of objects. Sadly the docs does not mention the object key. I would try it like his:
{{[{ "email": $node["webhook"].json["body"]["question-4"]["reply"] } ]}}

I thought for sure that would work but now just a different error.
Ok it looks like that is not the right structure. I would create a company from the UI, then retrieve all the companies using GET /companies
to see how the contactEmails come in the response so that we can send it the same way when creating the company.

@RicardoE105 good idea!
I found that the label it was expecting was “address”. It’s finally working.
Thank you :))
