Help formatting invoking a swisverb?

Question

I am trying to use powershell to invoke-swisverb and automate updating some alertaction's EmailTo property. Based on the examples I have found online this should be how the command should be formatted.

Invoke-SwisVerb -EntityName Orion.Actions -Verb UpdateActionsProperties -SwisConnection $swis -Arguments @(@{PropertyName = 'EmailTo';PropertyValue = 'newemail@myorg.com'},{1110,1111})

When I run the above it returns an object of XmlElement, which has a #text property that has value 'true'; however, the alert is not updated.

I have also tried the following, but with the same result (XmlElement returned, but it doesn't update the alert properties).

Invoke-SwisVerb -EntityName Orion.Actions -Verb UpdateActionsProperties -SwisConnection $swis -Arguments @(@{EmailTo='newemail@myorg.com'},{1110,1111})

Can anyone help me spot what I'm doing wrong?

I've never done it using the Verb myself. I've done it using Set-SwisObject 
 $Swis = Connect-Swis -Hostname myOrionServer.domain.local -UserName "myUsername" -Password "myComplexPassword"
$OldEmail = "oldemail@myorg.com"
$NewEmail = "newemail@myorg.com"

# Get all alert action properties in my environment where there is an old email
$Uris = Get-SwisData -SwisConnection $Swis -Query "SELECT Uri FROM Orion.ActionsProperties WHERE PropertyName = 'emailTo' AND PropertyValue = '$OldEmail'"
ForEach ( $Uri in $Uris ) {
 Set-SwisObject -SwisConnection $Swis -Uri $Uri -Properties @{ PropertyValue = $NewEmail }
} 
 The verb should work, but I've personally never tried it.
