JSONDecode turns a json string into a table. What you want to use is JSONEncode which turns a table into a json string.

Also, because discord blocked roblox's useragent from using webhooks, you're going to need a proxy such as discord.osyr.is

local url = "https://discord.osyr.is/api/webhooks/452278298781810699/noBTJK779MnmNuc9auhDQFp3-WMwuD83JQQyjjgM56S8zx8JoVsnVavrJy9e4XBjKdRP"
local http = game:GetService("HttpService")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
    player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
        local data = {
            ['username'] = player.Name,
            ['content'] = msg
        }
        local newdata = http:JSONEncode(data)
        http:PostAsync(url,newdata)
    end)
end)

Btw, exposing your full webhook url to the public is a bad idea.
