Error Messages

I'm a complete beginner and am just trying to get to grips with zoho creator. However I'm finding it very frustrating as when I try to add coding which is identical to the examples given in the guide I get error messages e.g. adding an email notification to a schedule

sendmail
[
from: gillgannon12@gmail
subject: "Birthday Alert"
message: "Happy Birthday <br />"
]

gives an error on line 2, improper statement, even though I used the 'send email' drag and drop!
How can a bracket that is automatically added be an error?
