I’m trying to understand how to properly format GraphQL queries for Monday and running into issues.

This is what I have so far

{"query":"mutation { create_item (board_id: 1293347952, item_name: \\"project 1\\", column_values: {\\"status\\": \\"Active\\", \\"text\\": \\"na\\", \\"date4\\": \\"2021-05-29\\"}) { id }}"}

I get the following response

{"errors":"{"message":"Parse error on \\"status\\" (STRING) at t1, 86]","locations":"{"line":1,"column":86}]}],"account_id":6734464}

Overall my PHP code is as follows

$response = MondayHelpers::callMondayAPI(



'mutation { create_item (board_id: ' . env('MONDAY_BOARD_ID') . ', item_name: "' . $project->name . '", column_values: {"' . env('MONDAY_STATUS_ID') . '": "Active", "' . env('MONDAY_COMPANY_ID') . '": "' . $request->user()->companydetails->company . '", "' . env('MONDAY_EXPECTED_ID') . '": "' . $project->expecteddate . '"}) { id }}'



 );



public static function callMondayAPI($data) {



        $payload = json_encode(e'query' => $data]);



        Log::info($payload);



        $curl = curl_init();



        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);



        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload);



        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.monday.com/v2/");



        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ,



            "Authorization:" . env("MONDAY_KEY"),



            "Content-Type:application/json",



        ]);



        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);



        $result = curl_exec($curl);



        curl_close($curl);



        return $result;



    }
