Not possible to add secondary email in Contacts API Batch Upsert

[VMendonça]

Following the documentation provided https://developers.hubspot.com/beta-docs/guides/api/crm/objects/contacts#secondary-emails , I attempted to add a secondary email to a contact but received an error.

Hi @VMendonça  and thanks for the tag @kennedyp 

The hs_additional_emails is actually depreciated and is no longer in use, unfortunately the API documentation has not been updated to reflect this yet.

Can you let us know an alternative way or estimation on when this will be fixed?

Thanks for this context @HubSpot_Corey -- marking this as a solution for now, but will get in touch with the related team.

Hi @HubSpot_Corey Thanks for the information. Is there an alternative way to add a secondary email to a contact through the API?
I couldn’t find anything in the documentation.

Looks like another upsert bug!

Hey @VMendonça! Thanks for this example. I am getting the same response: 

I want to invite some subject matter experts to see if they have any suggestions.

Hey @Teun, @MatthiasWeber, @HubSpot_Corey are we missing something in these requests? The documentation suggests this method, but we are getting this error. 

Best, 
Kennedy
