Trouble with `apoc.periodic.submit`

I am trying to understand why a large import query is failing and was instructed to use apoc.periodic.submit. For some reason I am missing something straight forward.

For example, when I try
CALL apoc.periodic.submit('test', 'MATCH (n) RETURN n' )
I get ["name": "test", "delay": 0, "rate": 0, "done": false, "cancelled"]. It almost seems like the query isn't running.

Then if I try CALL apoc.periodic.submit('test', 'MATCH (n) RETURN n' ) I get a syntax error.

Does anyone have any insight?
