Azure-docs: Add additional email recipients for a smart detection rule example not working

[BMichaelJ]

The ARM example for "Add additional email recipients for a smart detection rule" does not work

Getting this message:
""Error parsing template. Please ensure template is valid JSON. Invalid symbol at position 625. Invalid symbol at position 631. ""

And validating with other services I get this:
Error: Parse error on line 20:
... "customEmails": [[email protected]],
-----------------------^
Expecting 'STRING', 'NUMBER', 'NULL', 'TRUE', 'FALSE', '{', '[', ']', got 'undefined'

Additional details on the confusion and not working docs on the topic Smart Detect
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-monitor/add-email-to-smart-detect-action-group/m-p/1820666

Specifically this example, should it not add email to action group and not the Alert?
And the example does not work.
