Hi I followed the instructions for using the API to email an image when a Generic Event occurs but I am getting this message when I try to use it

Invalid value for parameter 'metadata'. It should be a json object. See documentation for more details

 

 

This is what I am using in the DoHTTP action

http://serverip:7001/api/createEvent?caption=Knots&description=Havelock&metadata={“CameraRefs”:[“fdf58f0c-55ef-b8fc-6ccf-b87a54458e22”]}

any ideas ?

  Hi Alan,

   

  Problem should be the format with your quotation marks. Try the below URL:

  http://server IP:7001/api/createEvent?source=Knots&description=Havelock&metadata={"CameraRefs":["fdf58f0c-55ef-b8fc-6ccf-b87a54458e22"]}

  or 

  http://server IP:7001/api/createEvent?source=Knots&description=Havelock&metadata=%7B%22CameraRefs%22:[%22fdf58f0c-55ef-b8fc-6ccf-b87a54458e22%22]%7D

  Let me know if it still doesn't work on your side, thank you!
