Is that because the POST request from the IFTTT misses something which is required for the parsing of the args ?

Yes, the POST request data is in JSON format instead of application/x-www-form-urlencoded. The ESP8266WebServer library does not parse JSON but it does parse urlencoded form data.

In simple words, I tried all the available Content types from the IFTTT, text/plain,application/ json and application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

and in all the types , the body was just the {{Message}} . But in all cases the parsing showed nothing and was blank

For the body try the following.



Use content type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
