Hi @rechavar ,

You can not change the post body in a webhook action. You can however use the custom code action with Axios and make a post request that way. This could look something like this:

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,
    },
  })
}
