challenge : event[‘challenge’]
if 'challenge’in event:
return

Hey Lydia, welcome to the community! I have a few questions to better understand the situation here.

What are you looking to do with the monday.com API and AWS Lambda?

Have you generated a URL that is connected to your Lambda function? You need to supply the webhook with a URL to send requests to, and this URL should be generated from your AWS account.

On a separate note, have you tried building this with an integration app with a Custom Action instead? The Custom Action solution would let you specify what data is sent to your Lambda code, and you wouldn’t have to worry about the challenge-response flow.

Hey @lydia 👋

I’m glad Dipro was able to shed a bit more light on this! I was just wondering if you had the chance to take a look at our custom trigger tutorial with the custom integration app block, as it should guide you through the steps you can take in order to set this up?
