Narrative:
On approach to stl, we were cleared to descend to 7000 ft and assigned a turn to a 120 degree heading at snyder intersection. Without prior warning, upon reaching 7500 ft, we received an immediate climb RA. We complied with the RA, climbed to 8200 ft, and notified ATC. The RA was resolved, and we began a descent back to 7000 ft. At this time, ATC advised us that we had missed the assigned turn at snyder. We were given a turn to a 150 degree heading, and completed the approach and landing without incident.
