I am getting undefined on both POST and Get when I am doing it as bellow:

To get payload within the body, you can use this solution as well. Let say, you want to get the email from the event body. It should be like the below example.

Sending request within the body

enter image description here

the header will be "Content-Type: application/json"

and then in your lambda function, you are going to get the email like in the below screenshot.

enter image description here

JSON.parse(event.body).email

When you send payload within the body, the fetch request will be as in below

var myHeaders = new Headers();
myHeaders.append("Content-Type", "application/json");

var raw = JSON.stringify({"email":"[email protected]"});

var requestOptions = {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: myHeaders,
  body: raw,
  redirect: 'follow'
};

fetch("http://127.0.0.1:3000/contact", requestOptions)
  .then(response => response.text())
  .then(result => console.log(result))
  .catch(error => console.log('error', error));

PS: Above example, for cases, sending post requests within the body.
