Hi @tanner1,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

I understand that you have been encountering problems with updating your user’s email address.

After testing this myself, I was able to reproduce your error when using an invalid connection name. I was also able to successfully update the user’s email when using a valid connection name.

Given that, I believe that the source of the issue has to do with the value you used for your `connection` property. I recommend that you double-check that you are using a valid connection name that exists on your tenant.

By default, you should have a `Username-Password-Authentication` connection which you can create a test user and test it out to verify.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help.

Thank you.
