For passing parameters as POST request, you need to do following things:

1. Make Json model of the parameters that u need to pass,ex:

   {"UserProfile":{ "UserId":"xyz1","FirstName":"Tom","LastName":"Hank" }}
   

2. Post your data model using client like POSTMAN

3. Now you will get the posted content in HttpRequestMessage body, sample code is as follows:

   [FunctionName("TestPost")]
   public static HttpResponseMessage POST([HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Function, "put", "post", Route = null)]HttpRequestMessage req, TraceWriter log)
   {
       try
       {
           //create redis connection and database
           var RedisConnection = RedisConnectionFactory.GetConnection();
           var serializer = new NewtonsoftSerializer();
           var cacheClient = new StackExchangeRedisCacheClient(RedisConnection, serializer);
   
           //read json object from request body
           var content = req.Content;
           string JsonContent = content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
   
           var expirytime = DateTime.Now.AddHours(Convert.ToInt16(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["ExpiresAt"]));
   
           SessionModel ObjModel = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(JsonContent);
           bool added = cacheClient.Add("RedisKey", ObjModel, expirytime); //store to cache 
   
           return req.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, "RedisKey");
       }
       catch (Exception ex)
       {
           return req.CreateErrorResponse(HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError, "an error has occured");
       }
   }
