Hi @rechavar ,

You can not change the post body in a webhook action. You can however use the [custom code action](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/workflows/custom-code-actions) with [Axios](https://github.com/axios/axios) and make a post request that way. This could look something like this:

```lia-code-sample
const axios = require('axios')

exports.main = async (event, callback) => {
 const firstname = event.inputFields['firstname']

 try {
 axios({
 method: 'post',
 headers: {
 'accept': 'application/json',
 'content-type': 'application/json',
 },
 url: '<YOUR-URL>',
 data: JSON.stringify({
 chatPlatform: 'whatsapp',
 chatChannelNumber: 'your_phone'
 }),
 json: true,
 })
 .then((response) => {
 console.log(response.data)
 })
 .catch((error) => {
 console.log(error)
 })
 } catch (err) {
 console.error(err)
 throw err
 }

 callback({
 outputFields: {
 firstname: firstname,
 },
 })
}

```
