Is it possible to invoke a lambda from quicksight custom action ?

I am still looking for some suggestion for my question.
Tried following:-
a) Created a PDF function in Postgres SQL returning numeric sum of weights.
b) Called UDF in Lambda and exposed it via API Gateway.
c) Created a calculated field in Quicksight calling API with parameters.

Problem is :- My UDF function value is not displayed in the field, but some count is displayed rather the numeric weight. What am I missing?
