PATCH /phone/extension/{extensionId}/call\_handling/settings/holiday\_hours

**Description**  
So I am trying to mass update the holiday hours for call queues and auto receptionist. I have a template with settings to use. I can pull the object and it is a JSON object, but if I pass it right back to another ext it fails with an invalid JSON object. If I remove the Holiday ID, the error remains the same.

I’ve tried building the object manually and it still fails.

**Error?**

Invoke-RestMethod -Method Patch -Uri “[https://api.zoom.us/v2/phone/extension/hi0Zo95xTn2yz2lYcjgIjA/call\_handling/settings/holiday\_hours](https://api.zoom.us/v2/phone/extension/hi0Zo95xTn2yz2lYcjgIjA/call_handling/settings/holiday_hours)” -Headers $headers -Body $simplifiedList  
Invoke-RestMethod : {“code”:300,“message”:“Request Body should be a valid JSON object.”}

```

**How To Reproduce**  
_Steps to reproduce the behavior:_  
\*1.https:/api.zoom.us/v2/phone/extension/{extensionId}/call\_handling/settings/holiday\_hours  
\*2. Standard auth token - this doesn’t present issues anywhere else in my work  
\*3. Invalid JSON object as described above.

Below is the layout of the object I am trying to pass, once it is converted to a JSON object in powershell.

[

“settings”: {  
“from”: “2024-02-19T00:00:00Z”,

Hi @jniehoff ,

When you send a singular object as opposed to an array of objects, does it still fail?
