Data string

As being said you can use the --data option to pass a string data as an event to your function.

serverless invoke local -f {function_name} --data '{ "queryStringParameters": {"id":"P50WXIl6PUlonrSH"}}'

Data file

What you can also do is to pass a --path to a json file with data as the event, and within the "event file" define the data you want.

serverless invoke --function {function_name} --path event_mock.json

You could somehow return the event from a call and save it in a JSON file or grab one from Amazon. They provide some examples: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/eventsources.html

Keep in mind that if you pass both --path and --data, the data included in the --path file will overwrite the data you passed with the --data flag.
