You have to get the information you need in the template mapping and send them back your Lambda function, this is one of the template I used to send information to the Lambda function:

{
   "params" : "$input.params()",
   "content-type-value" : "$input.params().header.get('Content-Type')",
   "body" : "$input.json('$')",
   "request-id": "$context.requestId",
   "method": "$context.httpMethod",
   "resource": "$context.resourcePath",
   "id": "$input.params('id')" //This is a path parameter in my case
}

You can do the same, or you can access params.path.id (again in my case). Here is the link to the documentation.
