Sending Alert body as JSON

Issue Summary

I want to send whatever I right in alert body as JSON.
Right now - the webhook destination receives body as string
description:"{“manager”:“Redash”}"
I want Redash not to convert json to string , but send
description:{“manager”:“Redash”} --> JSON

Can Someone help here?

Out of curiosity: what’s the difference between sending a string with JSON versus sending JSON in the request body? Either one should be consumable by the webhook.

Here’s the code you need:

github.com

getredash/redash/blob/master/redash/destinations/webhook.py

import logging
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

from redash.destinations import *
from redash.utils import json_dumps
from redash.serializers import serialize_alert


class Webhook(BaseDestination):
    @classmethod
    def configuration_schema(cls):
        return {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "url": {"type": "string"},
                "username": {"type": "string"},
                "password": {"type": "string"},
            },
            "required": ["url"],
