Great article - valuable resource for creating Cognito trigger functions

From the Recap... instead of "edit[ing] our Cognito CloudFormation template to define a PostConfirmation Trigger", can the post confirmation trigger function be selected/specified in the console of an existing Cognito user pool?

Similar with user groups in existing Cognito user pool console

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, the trigger and the groups can very easily be specified or created in the AWS Management Console. The goal for me is not to do any thing manually like this, because if someone in the team spins up a new environment, each step has to be repeated in the console, documented and might be forgotten.
