Postman and POST request

I have the following web api methods:

    [HttpGet]
    [Route("GetUserStatus")]
    public HttpResponseMessage GetUserStatus()
    {

    }

    [HttpPost]
    [Route("Send")]
    public HttpResponseMessage Send(string usernameTo, string message)
    {

    }

when I call a GET request - it works fine. But when I try to send a POST request - I get an error:

{
    "Message": "No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI 'http://localhost:11015/api/Chat/Send'.",
    "MessageDetail": "No action was found on the controller 'ChatApi' that matches the request."
}

and counter of failure calls for that method is incremented. Why so? I try the following way:

I could be wrong but I think the problem is that you are packaging your parameters as a single object in Postman. You can try setting usernameTo and message as Params in the Postman UI OR change the input of your Send method to a single object that contains usernameTo and message as properties/fields (don't forget to match the casing). I prefer the latter. Something like this:

[HttpPost]
[Route("Send")]
public HttpResponseMessage Send(MessageDetails details)
{

}

public class MessageDetails
{
    public string usernameTo { get; set; }
    public string message { get; set; }
}
