The solution provided by yonisha is clean, but it does not work for me in .Net Core 2.0. This works if you have a JSON body:

public IActionResult MyAction ([FromBody] PayloadObject payloadObject)
{
    //create a dictionary to store the json string
    var customDataDict = new Dictionary();

    //convert the object to a json string
    string activationRequestJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(
    new
    {
        payloadObject = payloadObject
    });

    customDataDict.Add("body", activationRequestJson);

    //Track this event, with the json string, in Application Insights
    telemetryClient.TrackEvent("MyAction", customDataDict);

    return Ok();
}
