Trigger a Custom Webhook with a Serverless Function

Using serverless functions with webhooks is a commonly used modern frontend pattern. It makes integrating with services flexible and straightforward.

In this lesson we will set up a webhook in Zapier that sends a task in the request body over to Google Sheets and creates a row in a spreadsheet.

Then we will create a Lambda function that you can make a POST request to with a task in the body of the request. Once the request is made the task is parsed out of the body and posted to our Zapier URL, triggering the webhook.
