Referring to this comment, I tried again today with this payload, but it didn’t solve it. I’m sorry if this is a busy time for you, but please take care of it.

> Hi @harishd.srv The error, Request Body should be a valid JSON object., occurs because your request body does not meet the required JSON format. Try replacing “ and ” with " ". Within recurrence, please make sure that you have added the type. For any other objects that you dont want to add values, you can just put null or remove those objects. I would recommend trying [JSON formatter](https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/) to format the JSON. Thanks
