Enable Backup with Email address

[MickDD]

HI, I am trying to use Add-CaasBackupClient command however when I try to use the email address I get the following error message.

Command
$link = Add-CaasBackupClient -Server $server -StoragePolicy $stoPolicy -SchedulePolicy $schPolicy -ClientType $clientType -Trigger ON_SUCCESS_OR_FAILURE -EmailAddresses [myemail@domain.com]

Error
Add-CaasBackupClient : Cannot bind parameter 'EmailAddresses'. Cannot convert the "[myemail@domain.com]" value of type "System.String" to type
"System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList`1[System.String]".
At line:1 char:170

• ... e -Trigger ON_SUCCESS_OR_FAILURE -EmailAddresses [myemail@domain.com]

•                                                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  

  • CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Add-CaasBackupClient], ParameterBindingException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : CannotConvertArgumentNoMessage,DD.CBU.Compute.Powershell.AddCaasBackupClientCmdlet

Other trials
I have also tried different formats of the email address, however they all error
@(myemail@domain.com)
@("myemail@domain.com")
"myemail@domain.com"
["myemail@domain.com"]
[myemail@domain.com]

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

there is a issue with the Email Type, you can get around this by generating an alertingtype adding the emails to that, then passing it to the add-caasbackupclient...

$email = "me@here.com","me2@here.com"
$Trigger = "ON_SUCCESS_OR_FAILURE"
#Creates a new Alerting Set
$Alerting = New-Object DD.CBU.Compute.Api.Contracts.Backup.AlertingType
#Adds the Email addresses to the Alerting Set
$Alerting.emailAddress += $email 
#Sets the Trigger for the Alert
$Alerting.trigger = $Trigger

$link = Add-CaasBackupClient -Server $server -StoragePolicy $stoPolicy -SchedulePolicy $schPolicy -ClientType $clientType -Trigger $Alerting.trigger -EmailAddresses $Alerting.emailAddress
