The goal is to have "quotes" around the text with spaces.
But you must quote these "quotes" to hide them for the shell. Place them inside 'ticks' is one method.
And you must have $variables in "quotes" for the shell - these protective quotes are removed, when passed to the curl.

Code:
'{"text": "'"${message}"'"}'

And this is a concatenation of 'string' "string" 'string' where the shell passes stringstringstring to curl.
