Hi,

I am using webhook to call API, in input there was special characters in certain fields like name -Олег. but this value is encoded like  "\u041e\u043b\u0435\u0433" in webhook request.

Do we have any other configuration to avoid this encoding.?

The encoding is working if we gave request token encoding as Form/URL instead of Json.

did it cause an error?

Did you check webhook docs on developer?

Any JSON-compatible API will understand this encoding: it's explicitly described in the JSON standard. If the remote endpoint can't understand it, file a bug with them as they're broken.

OK, then the remote endpoint was expecting URI-encoded in the first place. Like I said, there's nothing wrong with escaped Unicode code points in JSON.
