# Manual Lambda Function Registration
This topic describes how to manually register Lambda functions into Consul. Refer to [Automate Lambda Function Registration](/docs/lambda/registration/automate) for information about using the Lambda registrator to automate registration.
## Requirements
Verify that your environment meets the requirements specified in [Lambda Function Registration Requirements](/docs/lambda/registration).
To manually register Lambda functions so that mesh services can invoke them, you must create and apply a service registration configuration for the Lambda function and write a [service defaults configuration entry](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-defaults) for the function.
## Register a Lambda function
You can manually register Lambda functions if you are unable to automate the process using the Lambda registrator.
1. Create a configuration for registering the service. You can copy the following example and replace `<SERVICE_NAME>` with your Consul service name for the Lambda function:
<CodeBlockConfig filename="lambda.json">
```json
{
"Node": "lambdas",
"SkipNodeUpdate": true,
"NodeMeta": {
"external-node": "true",
"external-probe": "true"
},
"Service": {
"Service": "<SERVICE_NAME>"
}
}
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
1. Save the configuration to `lambda.json`.
1. Send the configuration to the `catalog/register` API endpoint to register the service, for example:
```shell-session
$ curl --request PUT --data @lambda.json localhost:8500/v1/catalog/register
```
1. Create the `service-defaults` configuration entry and include the AWS tags used to invoke the Lambda function in the `EnvoyExtensions` configuration. Refer to [Supported `EnvoyExtension` arguments](#supported-envoyextension-arguments) for more information.
The following example creates a `service-defaults` configuration entry named `lambda`:
<CodeBlockConfig filename="lambda-service-defaults.hcl">
```hcl
Kind = "service-defaults"
Name = "<SERVICE_NAME>"
Protocol = "http"
EnvoyExtensions = [
{
"Name": "builtin/aws/lambda",
"Arguments": {
"Region": "us-east-2",
"ARN": "<INSERT ARN HERE>",
"PayloadPassthrough": true
}
}
]
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
1. Issue the `consul config write` command to store the configuration entry. For example:
```shell-session
$ consul config write lambda-service-defaults.hcl
```
### Supported `EnvoyExtension` arguments
The `lambda` Envoy extension supports the following arguments:
- `ARN` (`string`) - Specifies the [AWS ARN](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html) for the service's Lambda. `ARN` must be set to a valid Lambda function ARN.
- `Region` (`string`) - Specifies the AWS region the Lambda is running in. `Region` must be set to a valid AWS region where the Lambda function exists.
- `PayloadPassthrough` (`boolean: false`) - Determines if the body Envoy receives is converted to JSON or directly passed to Lambda.
- `InvocationMode` (`string: synchronous`) - Determines if Consul configures the Lambda to be invoked using the `synchronous` or `asynchronous` [invocation mode](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/operatorguide/invocation-modes.html).
