To access query parameters in your [Netlify Functions](https://flaviocopes.com/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

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