Processing Request Parameters
Explore how to handle HTTP request parameters in AWS Lambda functions using API Gateway. Learn to distinguish between GET and POST methods for form handling, configure your SAM template to manage POST events, and deploy your stack to respond dynamically to user submissions with custom messages.

You now add a handler to deal with form submissions. You did not set a specific form action URL, but you did set the form method to POST. When the form is submitted, this will make your browser send the information to the same URL where the form was displayed, but it will be using the HTTP POST method. You can use the method to differentiate between actions. If the Lambda function receives a GET call, it can show the form. If it receives a POST call, it can process the submission.
