To start out, I am new to FME and to webhooks (or web mapping/web development in general). I am trying to set up a webhook to send an email when a user updates or creates a feature in an ArcGIS Online feature service. I have been able to successfully set up webhooks with Survey123 using the process in this article. Webhooks seem to be a relatively new feature in AGOL. I have only found this Esri article, and it was just from August of this year.

The problem I'm having is that I am able to send the webhook to webhook.site and Integromat (as is described in the Esri article linked above), but when I the webhook sends the payload to the webhook trigger in FME server, the log file doesn't give me the JSON that I get from webhook.site and Integromat, I get the following string of characters:

With setting up the webhook with Survey123, the payload is JSON, so it is easy to parse. I have no idea what is going on here.
I also tried to set up the webhook using a topic, but when I try to run topics, I don't think our topic monitoring is working, because it shuts down after running for about 1 minute and says that "Monitoring has been stopped. There was an error connecting to monitoring service."
We are currently running FME Server 2020.1.0.1.

Anyone have any advice for me?
