Im getting an error when ever Patreon sends a request to my system,

1|Cluster  | TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "data" argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView. Received an instance of Object

1|Cluster  |   code: 'ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE'
1|Cluster  | }

Here is the line of code which is throwing the error:

      let hash = crypto.createHmac("md5", webhookSecret).update(request.body).digest("hex");

Im a bit confused on what to do since it use to work perfectly fine…

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is likely a local issue since there hasnt been a change to the way that webhooks operate.
