I want to fire an HTTP request (Post) on an incoming MQTT.

I see how to add the HTTP Node, but I don't see where to add the Body for the HTTP.

If you read the help text in the sidebar, by selecting book icon at top, you will see under Inputs

> payload  
> Sent as the body of the request.

So the body would go in msg.payload that is feed into the http request node.
