Description

Steps to reproduce:

Just use verifyWebhook from "@clerk/express/webhooks" with proper environment setup with expressJS.

This is tiny little bug which I've already fixed.
I used debugger to step into library function this is the problematic line which resolves to '[Object object]' the cause being this line

it can be fixed with just single line of converting the body string from object type.

  const clonedRequest = new Request(webRequest, {
    body: JSON.stringify(req.body),
  });

I would love to send a pr and get it merged and this will be my first contribution to clerk so I'm really excited about it LMK how I should proceed.
