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
