Is the Database Webhook payload always empty?

Reading through the documentation (https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/webhooks#payload), there is a sentence saying
The payload is automatically generated from the underlying table record
The payload is automatically generated from the underlying table record


#help-and-questions

What does this mean exactly? Is the payload generated and passed in the request body when the trigger gets executed?

I have created a Webhook via the Supabae UI and I selected to use my Edge Function which accepts the POST request.

However, the request body is empty; what is meant by
the payload is automatically generated
the payload is automatically generated
; is it generated but not added to the request?

Thanks!
