Hello! 👋

I created banner for my users with `form action="url_webhook"` and button “Send”, when user click on button, my Discourse send information to webhook url, but it’s header output don’t have `username` who clicked a button. How to get this parametr?

```plaintext
<div><b>Hello!</b>
<p>Please click a button to notify Staff</p>
<button id="Send">Send</button>
</div>

```

It might help to take a couple steps back and say what it is you’re trying to accomplish.

When user click the button, forum send POST to external webhook: [https://example.com/confirm](https://example.com/confirm). So I don’t see in the `request headers` the `username` who send this post (click button).

I need to get `username` of user who clicked on the button.

**Example:** when user _Alex1_ click button _Send_, my forum send POST to webhook url with this value: _Alex1_

Sorry fo rmy bad English ☹
