I am using below Code for creating Macro using Rest API from excel file. When I execute it says macros is created without any issue. But it is not created in Splunk Application. Is it the correct process to created Macro. 
 
           url : 'https://'+host+':'+config.port+"/servicesNS/nobody/" + app + "/properties/macros/definition?output_mode=json",
                    form: { 
                        "Name":name,
                        "Definition":value
                    },

                    headers :{
                        "Content-Type": "application/json",
                        "Authorization": auth
                    }
 
Below is used for updating the macro and it is working fine
 
      {
            url: "https://" + host + ":" + config.port + "/servicesNS/nobody/" + app + "/properties/macros/" + name + "/definition?output_mode=json",
            headers: {
                "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
                Accept: "application/json",
                Authorization: auth,
            },
            form: {
                value,
            },
