This is a follow-up to my previous blog post on integrating the ArcGIS API for Python and Survey123 with Azure Functions<\/a>. In that post, I highlighted two separate solutions using Azure Functions. While it is not necessary, it would be worthwhile to give it read to understand some of the context behind the use of serverless functions in the ArcGIS platform.<\/p>\n

The first solution in my original post outlined the process for setting up an Azure Function with the ArcGIS API for Python. This is certainly possible in AWS Lambda but there are some limitations, such as building a minimum dependencies package<\/a> in a Linux environment due to strict size requirements imposed for Lambda. I will not be focusing on that integration here as it would take another blog post entirely to address the steps.<\/p>\n

The intent of this post is to really walk you through that process of setting up a webhook using an API Gateway<\/a> and Lambda<\/a> in AWS, as well as some bonus security tips on setting up a custom Lambda authorizer for the API Gateway. The end goal of sending an email notification when a response is submitted in Survey123 is pretty much the same as the second solution in my previous post. You can find the code samples used throughout this post on GitHub<\/a>.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"sidebar","content":"
