Insert not working in Mongo Stitch (JS)

I am currently trying to insert a document to my mongodb but when I call insert() on a collection, an error is produced saying (FacilitatorJS.js:26 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: db.collection(...).insert is not a function at db.collection.find.execute.then.result (FacilitatorJS.js:26) at )

Could anyone help with this? I've tried insertOne() with no luck either.

Here's the code below 

//prep server connection
    const clientPromise = stitch.StitchClientFactory.create('CODE');
    var client;
    var db;
    let stitchClient;
    /**
     * Connects to DB and can retrieve a facilitator's existing id, or create a new one (if name doesnt exist in db)
     * @param {dict} name //name to find or insert
     */
    function connect(name){
        clientPromise.then(stitchClient =>{
            client = stitchClient;
            db = client.service('mongodb', 'mongodb-atlas').db('budgetopolis');

            return client.login().then(getFacilitatorID(name))
        });
    }
    function getFacilitatorID(name){
        db.collection('Facilitators').find(name).execute().then(result => {
            if(result.length == 0){
                //create a facilitator object in db if doesn't exist
                db.collection("Facilitators").insert(name).execute().then(result1 => {
                    //now get the newly added Facilitator's ID
                    console.log('created new user')
                    db.collection('Facilitators').find(name).execute().then(result2 => {
                        var fullId = result[0]['_id']
                        Facilitator.session_id = fullId.toString().slice(-4)
                        updateMessageBar("Your new session id is: " + Facilitator.session_id)
                    });
                });
            }else{ //working

TypeError: db.collection(...).insert is not a function at db.collection.find.execute.then.result (FacilitatorJS.js:26) at )

There is no function called insert() for a collection on the stitch-sdk JavaScript. You should use insertOne() instead. If you have tried with insertOne(), the error line probably differs.

I would suggest to follow one of the MongoDB Tutorials: Stitch to get started.
