API Gateway calling Step Functions - a direct integration from an API to a state machine workflow

If for whatever reason you want to trigger a Step Functions state machine workflow through API Gateway by exposing a HTTPS endpoint you can do that by creating a direct integration between API Gateway and AWS Step Functions. In this video I am going to show you step by step how to set up the Step Functions state machine, create the necessary IAM role and set up API Gateway to invoke the state machine asynchronously or synchronously.

How can I avoid the weird format issue for the input body. instead of having to do the \'Name\. is there a way to get around that if I am passing in standard json data for my post request?

[@JonnyDevs]

Did you find a way to use standard json?

@@JonnyDevs I don’t think so, ended up switching teams/companies in the past 10 months so hopefully the person working on it now can share. Looks like my comment got a few likes so seems like it is a common issue.
