I'm creating a webhook to receive notifications from a 3rd-party service, they sent the data in the body of a POST with content type application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

But it generates the same error:

{"message": "Could not parse request body into json: Unrecognized token \'name\': was expecting \'null\', \'true\', \'false\' or NaN\n at [Source: [B@456fe137; line: 1, column: 6]"}

I could reproduce the error with the following curl call:

% curl -v -X POST -d 'name=Ignacio&city=Tehuixtla' https://rl9b6lh8gk.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/prod/mandrillListener

If I wrap the body with double-quotes it works fine: 

% curl -v -X POST -d '"name=Ignacio&city=Tehuixtla"' https://rl9b6lh8gk.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/prod/mandrillListener

"true"%

The lambda has only one line: 

context.succeed('true');

How can I make the api gateway do not treat the body as json?

I tried the documentation about template mapping with no success, I even tried to convert it to a static template, with no variables at all! In all cases, the error happens before getting to my code.

Set the mapping template like this:

{

  "body" : $input.json('$')

}

This template will convert your string into JSON and will pass it to lambda.
