Invoke

Invoke a Lambda function.

Invocations may be synchronous or asynchronous. In a synchronous invocation, Lambda waits for a response that contains details or errors. In an asynchronous invocation, Lambda adds an event to a queue. After the event is sent, the response includes a status code only.

Output

Field Definition Type
Status Code Result of the operation. The connector returns an HTTP status code that indicates whether the action taken by the card succeeded or failed. For example:
  • A 201 Created status code indicates success where a new resource was created.
  • A 403 Forbidden error indicates that the HTTP request wasn't processed because the necessary permissions were missing.

For a full list of possible status codes, see HTTP status codes.
