How to access query parameters in Netlify functions

To access query parameters in your Netlify Functions, you can access the event.queryStringParameters object available inside the handler function.

For example if you have an email query string, you can access it using

exports.handler = (event, context, callback) => {
  event.queryStringParameters.email
  //do something with it
}
