Hi, using this method to update users email ID. Getting this error in integration. Do you have any idea?

> [@If someone changes their email in WordPress, change it in Discourse - sso\_sync](https://meta.discourse.org/t/if-someone-changes-their-email-in-wordpress-change-it-in-discourse-sso-sync/76572/2):
>
> I should add that I know the email change will happen when the user next logs in to discourse, but we need to instantaneously change it when they change it in WordPress.

any suggestion?
