Setting environment variable for different tabs using gnome-terminal

In order to set up a number of applications, I'm trying to do something similar as:
gnome-terminal
--tab "app1" --working-directory=dir1 -e "export app=1 & npm start"
--tab "app2" --working-directory=dir2 -e "export app=2 & npm start"
--tab "app3" --working-directory=dir3 -e "export app=3 & npm start"
This gives me the following error:
Error: Failed to execute child process "export" (No such file or directory)
Does someone know how and if it is possible to do something like this?

You need to execute the commands as part of bash or another shell.
Try this:
gnome-terminal
--tab "app1" -e "bash -c "cd app1; export app=app1; npm run start""
and add similar for others.
