Why is SimplyBook API addClient function not working? Error log showing “Client name value is wrong”

I am trying to add a client to the SimplyBook system using JSONRCP. This is called when a new user is added to WordPress as a subscriber using registration form built with the UserRegistration plugin.

When a user tries to register it hangs and then throws an error saying "Client name is wrong". I have tried hard coding some dummy data in and this does work. So it seems that there is an issue with getting the data from the database using the function "$first_name = get_user_meta($user_id, 'first_name', true);"

Any suggestion on what I may be doing wrong would be very much appreciated!

/* Function to run when a new user is created */
function sync_user_created($user_id) {

    $user_id = reset($user)->ID;

    // Get user data
    $user_info = get_userdata($user_id);

    // Check if the user has the role of 'subscriber'
    if (in_array('subscriber', $user_info->roles)) {

        $first_name = get_user_meta($user_id, 'first_name', true);
        $user_email = get_userdata($user_id, 'user_email');
        $user_phone = get_user_meta($user_id, 'phone', true);

        // authenticate connection - this function works
        $JsonRcpClient = SimplyBookAdminAuth();
    
        $clientData = array(
            'name' => $first_name,
            'email' => $user_email,
            'phone' => $user_p  hone
        );

        // add the new client to SimplyBook database - don't send an email
        $JsonRcpClient->addClient($clientData, false);
    
    }

}
// hook into new user registration
add_action('user_register', 'sync_user_created');

The error I am getting from the UserRegistration log is:
