I created variable called ProjectApproverEmail and then used the variable in the To field. When the step runs, I get following error.

Fatal 09:57:52
The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.
System.FormatException: The specified string is not in the form required for an e-mail address.

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out. Could you please enable these debugging variables on your project, then create a new release (so the variables take effect), deploy it and send us the raw log? If possible, try to run as fewer steps as possible to avoid extra noise in the logs. This should help us know what is going on with the email.
