Hi  
I'm a bit struggling using the Rules creation API

> **[Create rule API | Kibana Guide \[8.6\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.6/create-rule-api.html)**

I'm trying to create a `"rule_type_id":".es-query"`.  
In the parameters it asks me for the `"es-Query"', I tried to use the triple quotes but it gives me an error that  
` "Bad Request","message":"Invalid request payload JSON format"`  
If i give no quotes then it gives me an error that it is expecting a string and instead it got an object.  
So how can I safely send it over?  
Thanks  
A

Hi @A_Mightiev,

Can you share your request payload and the query you are trying to create the rule for?
