Trying to map the lambda output to a template such that the aws gateway output matches the expected output.

For example  
Lambda Output  
{  
“statusCode”: number,  
“body”: string  
"headers": {  
“key”: “value”  
…  
}  
}

Attempting a response template in serverless.yml, not working as expected.  
response:  
template: $input.json(’$.body’)

All examples I see reference $input ( although this is the output ) and not sure if that is correct.  
If not what are my options other than $input for response template mapping.
