Hi [@rakesh.chauhan](https://community.hubspot.com/u/rakesh.chauhan), it doesn’t look like the way you’re formatting your body is correct. The docs state your fields should be formatted like so:

```auto
"fields": [
 {
 "name": "email",
 "value": "example@example.com"
 },
 {
 "name": "lastname",
 "value": "Example Lastname"
 },
 {
 "name":"multiple_checkbox_property",
 "value":"option_1;option2"
 },
 {
 "name":"date_property",
 "value":1520985600000
 },
 {
 "name":"checkbox_property",
 "value":"true"
 }
 ]

```

From your example, you’re missing the `name` property for each value you provide. I created a simple Repl here: [https://repl.it/@cbarley10/DefensiveBeigeRuntimes](https://repl.it/@cbarley10/DefensiveBeigeRuntimes) in NodeJS for a Form Submission using the v3 API. I’d recommend emulating the example there if you can! Or please use the example in the sidebar.
