Alright... got it working!! Thank you for the assistance. I may be reaching out again before this is done 🙂

Here's what I did to get it working...

$ActionsBody = @"
{
    "actions": [ 
      {
        "name": "0",
        "request": true,
        "forward": true,
        "pool": "/Common/pool_test"
      }
    ], 
    "conditions": [
      {
        "name":"0",
        "request": true,
        "httpHost": true,
        "equals": true,
        "values": [
            "www.mydomain.net"
        ]
      }
    ]
}

    Yes, now I test it right.

    We forgot that array collections: 😕

    $ActionsBody = @{
      actions =  @( @{
        name = "0"
        request = $true
        forward = $true
        pool = "/Common/pool_teste"
      } )
      conditions = @( @{
          name = "0"
          request = $true
          httpHost = $true
          equals = $true
          values = @("www.mydomain.net")
        } )
}
