# AWS API Gateway: deploy the POST method

How to deploy the POST method in AWS API Gateway for the Snyk to Slack integration

Deploy with configured POST method so the AWS Lambda function can start receiving the information.

Follow these steps to deploy the POST method:

1. Go to the **Resources** tab.
2. Click **POST**.
3. On the **Actions** tab, click **Deploy API**.
4. Select the **Deployment stage** to which you want to deploy the new API, in this case, the **default** stage.
5. Navigate back to your Lambda function and In the Lambda trigger configuration, verify you see a new API endpoint.
6. Copy the API endpoint from the API Gateway boxes for use in setting up the Snyk webhook.
7. Now that the API endpoint is saved, set up the Snyk Webhook.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/developer-tools/snyk-api/using-specific-snyk-apis/webhooks-apis/guides-to-webhooks/how-to-use-snyk-webhooks-to-connect-snyk-to-slack-with-aws-lambda/aws-lambda-setup-set-up-the-trigger/with-api-gateway/aws-api-gateway-deploy-the-post-method.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
