Are you getting WRONG_PARAMETER_TYPE Error in Netsuite's Suite Script 2.0 while sending email?

Error on Email in Suite Script 2.0

                                      
You started working on Suitescript 2.0 and everything was good until you got error "WRONG_PARAMETER_TYPE" and you are not able to figure out why.

I got linkedin message where user asked me about below error while sending email to employee.

{"type":"error.SuiteScriptError","name":"WRONG_PARAMETER_TYPE","message":"Wrong parameter type: options.entity is expected as object. ","stack":["createError(N/error)","execute(/SuiteScripts/yourSuitesScriteName.js:lineNoWillComeHere)","createError(N/error)"],"cause":{"name":"WRONG_PARAMETER_TYPE","message":"Wrong parameter type: options.entity is expected as object. "},"id":"","notifyOff":false} 

Everything in code is looking good , in debugs all values were coming correctly, Even values were not blank and as mentioned script was showing entity has object, still issue was not solved.


Code which has problem:
vendorId is coming from results.
var myMergeResult = render.mergeEmail({
                                                    templateId: 7,
                                                    entity: {
                                                        type: 'employee',
                                                        id: vendorId
                                                        }                                                  
                                                    });
Solution:

In code above type is string type and id accept integer, problem here was values were coming as String not as Integer.
Here vendorId should be parsed to Integer value, there are two ways to parse it, wither use parseInt or use code which is mentioned in Blog post here
var myMergeResult = render.mergeEmail({
                                                    templateId: 7,
                                                    entity: {
                                                        type: 'employee',
                                                        id: parseInt(vendorId)
                                                        }                                                  
                                                    });
