IoT Central Data export webhook endpoint is not receiving JSON

I set up a data export from IoT Central using webhook as per the data export tutorial. My destination for debug purposes is https://requestbin.net/. The messages I receive at the end point do not seem to contain the JSON messages sent to IoT Central. I'm receiving GET calls without any body or visible content. What could be wrong?

    Hello @randomrabbit ,

    I just tested this using the quickstart (using my Android phone).

    Did you add the transformation pointing to your template?

    This is what I did...

    I connected my phone and I got incoming messages in the portal:

    I then added this WebHook destination:

    I then added the export, pointing to the destination:

    Notice I also set the data transformation!

    Select the right template:

    Save it and wait a few seconds so the export can connect...

    And I get these incoming messages:

    Note: Make sure your phone did not close the connection of the app...
