Third API call not executed

Hi, I am learning Power Query and trying to figure out why the third API call in my code is not being executed, I'm talking about the Post call to webhook named hello4. If I remove the second api call (hello3) the hello4 works but if hello3 is there hello4 is not executed. I've tried to wrap hello4 in function invoke but no luck. Thanks in advance for any help

Let variables are evaluated lazily. In other words, they're only evaluated when they are referenced by some executing M code. Because your let expression only references hello3 (and not hello4), only hello3 is executed.
