I have a curl post operation which uses OTRS REST API to create tickets . I want to integrate the same using watcher webhook .

These are the parameters required to create a ticket in OTRS

{  
"UserLogin" : "admin",  
"Password" : "admin",  
"Ticket" : {  
"Title" : "test",  
"CustomerUser" :"Customer1",  
"Queue" : "Raw",  
"State" : "New",  
"Priority" : "1 very low"  
},  
"Article" : {  
"CommunicationChannelID" : "1",  
"Subject" : "Test",  
"Body" : "This is a test10 ",  
"ContentType" : "text/plain; charset=utf8"  
}

}

How do I use the same params inside a webhook ? I tried this

"my\_webhook": {  
"webhook": {  
"scheme": "http",  
"host": "[example.com](http://example.com)",  
"port": 80,  
"method": "post",  
"path": "/otrs/nph-genericinterface.pl/Webservice/GenericTicketConnectorREST/Ticket",  
"headers": {"Content-Type": "application/json" },  
"body": {  
"UserLogin" : "admin",  
"Password" : "admin",  
"Ticket" : {  
"Title" : "test",  
"CustomerUser" :"Customer1",  
"Queue" : "Raw",  
"State" : "New",  
"Priority" : "1 very low"  
},  
"Article" : {  
"CommunicationChannelID" : "1",  
"Subject" : "Test",  
"Body" : "This is a test10 ",  
"ContentType" : "text/plain; charset=utf8"  
}  
}  
}  
}

But I am getting errors like this

**Watcher: [illegal\_argument\_exception] [script] unknown field [UserLogin], parser not found**

the `body` field needs to be a string right now.

However you can create a proper payload via a script in the transform of the webhook action, and then use the `toJson` mustache helper, which creates JSON. There is an example in the docs [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/6.2/actions-webhook.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/6.2/actions-webhook.html)
