We are setting up a webhook receiving a value with Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded at a Post endpoint, and are struggling to parse it into a JSON value. How do you do this?

Hi Lavrans,

When you add the POST method for an endpoint the **Body Data** property is revealed. You can use that to map the keys from the request body (e.g. logout\_token) to a data source.

The screenshot below shows an example where I’ve mapped it to a service variable.

I have done this, but Appfarm is not able to parse the body content as it is formatted as Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded.  
I have also tried parsing the result, but I cannot treat the rawBodyContent as a string which means that I cannot turn it into a JSON structure.

When I run a test from Postman with `Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded` it works as I described. Have you tried that?

When you send a request from dev tools it doesn’t seem to set an explicit Content Type and I guess it defaults to JSON which is why you are seeing that error.

I got it to work now as well. Sending from devtools was the issue. Thank you! 😃
