Getting current User email with Clerk Auth

  { event, context }
) => {

    logger.warn('Missing decoded user')
    return null
  }

  console.log('decoded', decoded.email)

  const { id, ..._rest } = decoded

  

  // Be careful to only return information that should be accessible on the web side.
  return { id }
}

But it returns undefined I consoled the whole decoded and it had no user information.

I want to do this but for Clerk
