I have two questions concerning the Web Service element:
Are those POST requests in the web service task being made by the browser or by the qualtrics server?
Second, is it possible to take a variable from the survey link query string and have it automatically populated in the body parameter of the POST request?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, define the url parameter as an embedded data field (e.g., parm_name) in the survey flow then pipe it into the web service as ${e://Field/parm_name}.
