Response to the Source from Zap with Webhook Trigger


When I have a zap of more than 1 step, and the trigger is Webhooks by Zapier with Catch Hook. When I send the response to the webhook, it provides back to the source this kind of payload response:

{"id": "548299ef-bb3a-4769-885a-fb001407c049", "request_id": "5f197542-b118-4fe9-9b45-f1e10b4ac710", "attempt": "5f197542-b118-4fe9-9b45-f1e10b4ac710", "status": "success"}

Is there a way that the connection of the Zap is kept alive and rather than providing the response up, it provides the response of the last step of the Zap?


Solution

  • Short answer: no, it's not possible. You'll always get the json payload you posted when you send a webhook (unless you disable it, but then you just get nothing).

    Long answer: No, because the zap execution happens separately from the webhook ingestion. Think of this operation less like a webserver (where the caller is waiting for a response) and more asynchronously (where the caller asks that a thing be done, the server confirms it will do it, and then the thing happens eventually).
