AWS Enabling CORS for my API triggering a Lambda - amazon-web-services

Question

I managed to create an AWS Lambda that does two things: writes on a dynamo DB and sends an SMS to a mobile number. Then I call this Lambda through a API Gateway POST call, and it works great from the Test section on AWS console but it gives error both on Postman and my own website. I inserted a callback to handle CORS on Lambda and deployed + enabled CORS on my API via console and deployed it but still get errors:
Errors via postman call: {
"message": "Internal server error"
}
Errors via my website (jquery ajax POST call): Lambda calling failed: {"readyState":4,"responseText":"{"message": "Internal server error"}","responseJSON":{"message":"Internal server error"},"status":500,"statusText":"error"}
This is my lambda code
const AWS = require('aws-sdk');
const dynamodb = new AWS.DynamoDB();
const SNS = new AWS.SNS();
const tableName = "#####";
let params = {
PhoneNumber: 'mynumber####',
Message: 'Someone wrote!'
};
exports.handler = (event, context, callback) => {
dynamodb.putItem({
"TableName": tableName,
"Item" : {
"Id": {
N: event.Id
},
"Type": {
S: event.Type
}
}
}, function(err, data) {
if (err) {
console.log('Error putting item into dynamodb failed: '+err);
}
else {
console.log('Success in writing, now starting to send SMS');
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
SNS.publish(params, function(err, data) {
if(err) {
console.log("Error in sending sms alarm");
reject(err);
}
else {
console.log("SMS alarm sent!");
resolve(data);
}
})
})
}
});
callback(null, {
statusCode: 200,
headers: {
"Access-Control-Allow-Headers" : "Content-Type",
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
"Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "OPTIONS,POST,GET"
},
body: JSON.stringify('Hello from Lambda!'),
});
};
What am I doing wrong? I don't think permissions on lambda are the problem here, since testing it on console works both on writing on dynamo both sending the sms to my cellphone.
If I click from here on API Endpoint I get the same error {"message": "Internal server error"}

SOLUTION: instead of making an AWS HTTP API, make a AWS REST API, that is much more complex and offers more personalization for CORS, letting you set them and headers.
