I created a trigger that has to update a record after creating a record, when I invoke in my terminal , it works perfectly, but when I create a new record it shows me "“Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0"”

Just to be sure that we are on the same page. Does the code you sent work wrong?

If so, seems like error fails from
const eventData = JSON.parse(event.body)(63 line).

Pay attention to the event format. You try to get the property with the name “body” from the event.
You can read more information here:
https://docs.8base.com/docs/8base-console/custom-functions/triggers/

To debug the code you can wrap the line into try catch block and send the error to console log.

Here’s an example:

export default async (event, ctx) => {
  let eventData;
  try {
    eventData = JSON.parse(event.body);
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
  }
  let response;

  try {
    response = await ctx.api.gqlRequest(transactionUpdate, { ID: eventData.ID, gatewayFee: gatewayFee });

    /* Handle errors for failed GraphQL mutation */
  } catch (e) {
    return responseBuilder(422, "Failed to update transaction");
  }
  return {
    data: {
      response,
    },
  };
};
