+#### 1. Download logs from cloudwatch
+
+E.g.
+
+`export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=eu-west-1 && awslogs get /aws/lambda/support-reminders-cancel-reminders-PROD --start='2021-06-15 16:00' --end='2021-06-16 09:00' --filter-pattern="invalid input syntax for type uuid" --profile membership > filtered-dump.log`
+
+#### 2. Extract the base64 codes from the error logs and decode
+
+`grep "Error: error" filtered-dump.log  > errors`
+
+You can just use vim block edit mode to remove everything except the codes.
+
+`cat errors | uniq > deduped`
+
+`./decode.sh deduped`
+
+#### 3. Lookup actual reminder_codes from postgres and send to cancellation endpoint
+
+Setup the ssh tunnel to the database bastion, then run:
+`node getReminderCode.js <database name> <username> <password> <path-to-file>`
