Hi Jens
Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.
In Smart Alerts, the webhook_payload you specify is saved under properties.actionGroups.customWebhookPayload, but this payload may not be included in the body of the webhook call when the alert is triggered.
For metric or log alerts, the webhook_properties are sent in the alert payload under properties.actions.customProperties, enabling custom properties to be directly transmitted to your webhook.
The Common Alert Schema allows for custom properties, but how these properties are used varies by alert type. For Smart Alerts, there are limits on what can be included in the webhook call, which can be confusing for users who expect it to work like metric or log alerts.
For reference, please review this documentation:-
