JSON & Discord's WebHook

Question

Me and a friend are playing around with JSON, neither of us have touched it before so we're learning as we go along, but we've managed to make a bot type text into chat, with the help of IFTTT and Amazon's Echo Dot.

However, Discord allows users to use a text-to-speech feature with the command /tts.

{
    "content": "Hello World!"
}

We've done something on the lines of this to start off, which works as expected, but now we have to use a boolean to determine whether or not we want this to be read out via tts.

{
    "content": [{
        "type": "text",
        "text": "Hello World!",
        "tts": "true"
    }]
}

This throws up no errors, but the text isn't returned in the chat, nor is it spoken out loud at all. From here you'll find the resource page for the webhook, and near the bottom of the page, you'll find a table containing the tts function.

If anyone has any idea on how to get this working it would be a real help since we don't know much JSON to start with anyone. Thanks for the help.

It seems like a discord staff member already answered your questions

You don't need an array for the content block,

{ 
    "content": "Hello World", 
    "tts": true 
}

would be fine
