Cant figure out syntax for JSON payload with nested array

Hello,

I am trying to POST a webhook to an application, and getting a ‘Invalid JSON’ error each time. 

I have narrowed the problem down to 2 fields in the payload, both of which only accept an array. I am only passing one value, but it still has to be in an array.  If I remove these fields, the webhook posts properly so I know it’s probably a syntax error or something. 

Here is the exact copy of the call that works when I post it using cURL:

POST /v2019-11/milestone-update/xxxxxxx HTTP/1.1

Host: api.floify.com

X-API-KEY: xxxxxxxxxx

Authorization: Bearer xxxxxxxx

Content-Type: application/json

Content-Length: 174

{

    "operation": "checkoff",

    "milestoneNumber": "1",

     "emailSend": "0",

  "recipientsTo":["selleragent@example.com"],

  "recipientsCc":["selleragent@example.com"]

}

 

I have tried putting this value in like [“<value>”] and also tried it with a custom payload. I can’t figure out the syntax! 

Can anyone help? I am stumped :)
