# Handle webhooks via AWS Lambda

To receive and handle events from Atlan's webhooks via an AWS Lambda function, you need to follow these high-level steps:

1. [Set up an AWS Lambda function](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/platform/python/setup-lambda/llms.txt) that can receive webhooks from Atlan.
2. [Code your logic](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/platform/python/code-event-logic/llms.txt) for handling the events.
3. [Deploy your code](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/platform/python/deploy-lambda/llms.txt) to the AWS Lambda function.
4. [Set up an Atlan webhook](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/platform/python/setup-webhook/llms.txt) to call the AWS Lambda function.

You can also [manage](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/platform/python/manage-webhook/llms.txt) your code on an ongoing basis.
