How can I create a branch from an Argo workflow?

I am trying to send a HTTP post request in Argo workflows to create a branch in GitHub. It keeps failing and I am not able to figure out why. It looks like something sticky and small, and I would appreciate any help in figuring this out.

While executing, I just see a message successCondition 'response.statusCode == 201' evaluated false. I don't see anything in logs.

Here is my workflow:

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Workflow
metadata:
  generateName: http-template-
spec:
  entrypoint: main
  serviceAccountName: argo-workflow-sa
  templates:
    - name: main

        - - name: getmainsha
            template: get-sha

              parameters:

        - - name: print-main-sha
            template: print
            arguments:
              parameters:
                - name: message
                  value: "{{=jsonpath(steps.getmainsha.outputs.result, '$.object.sha')}}"

        - - name: generate-branch-name
            template: generate-unique-name
            arguments:
              parameters:
                - name: string-name
                  value: "new-branch"

        - - name: create-branch-github

            arguments:
              parameters:
                - name: url
                  value: "https://api.github.com/repos/<owner>/<repo>/git/refs"
                - name: branch-name
                  value: "{{steps.generate-branch-name.outputs.result}}"
                - name: main-branch-sha
                  value: "{{=jsonpath(steps.getmainsha.outputs.result, '$.object.sha')}}"

        body: "{'ref':{{inputs.parameters.branch-name}},'sha':{{inputs.parameters.main-branch-sha}}}"
        successCondition: "response.statusCode == 201"

I expect a branch to be created in GitHub.

So silly of me to make this mistake.

As per the official github documentation the ref in the request body should be like this "ref":"refs/heads/<branch-name>".

Github api create reference
