Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to setup and manage an SSL Certificate when using AWS Lambda?

No - When using AWS Lambda you don't need to manage any SSL certificates as ServiceM8 invokes your Lambda function directly.

How do I authenticate against the ServiceM8 API within my function?

Authentication within add-on functions is provided by the ServiceM8 Simple Token Service - which will provide you with a temporary OAuth token for authentication each time your function is invoked, greatly simplifying authentication.
