Ability to send response to triggering webhook in automations
chrishk
When an automation is triggered by a webhook, it would be useful to be able to send a response to the webhook. The response would contain some of the automation steps' data, along with the 200 OK http code.
Lot of third party softwares allow for sending webhook and receiving webhook response from the endpoint. But this third party softwares often doesn't provide a http end point we can send data to.
For reference : Activepieces allows sending a response to a triggering webhook when the webhook url has the suffix "/sync".
With this feature, Taskade would really be a game changer. The sky would be the limit for automations.
Hope this feature request makes sense for Taskade.

Agreed, this is exactly the use case I've been considering for interacting with a web support ticketing system's API. Low volume, high impact for automation of things like resetting MFA with another webhook-capable API we use and then communication back to the submitter and update ticket status.

Hi there,
Thank you for the feedback, we understand your suggestion, it's an option to make the webhook respond with the data of the completed flow.
We will take your feedback into consideration when improving our webhook trigger.
Best Regards,

ryantaskade we have the same need ! since the API doesn't allow to talk to agents, we need to be able to get the answer from the agent as a webhook response

brian.ross I found a way to accomplish this! 😊
- Your trigger receives the normal payload, plus a URL to which the response will be sent.
Example payload: {"response_url": "https://...", "question": ""}
- At the end of your automation, make an HTTP request to the provided response_url with your answer.
That said, a true webhook response would be better. It could provide an answer even in case of errors occurring in the workflow (for example, by using appropriate HTTP response codes).
Does this help address your needs? 😊

ryantaskadee hello Ryan. Do you think this request could be implemented in the future, even if no ETA? Many thanks!
