Hi Zoho Flow Team,

We’d like to request a Webhook Response capability for Zoho Flow that can return a dynamic, computed reply to the original webhook caller after / during the flow runs.

What exists today

• Zoho Flow’s webhook trigger can send custom acknowledgements (headers/body) from Advanced settings, for the first or all incoming requests.

• These acknowledgements are configured at the trigger level and are static; they cannot reference variables or outputs produced by downstream steps in the flow.

What we need

A dedicated Webhook Response step (similar to Make.com’s webhook response module) that:

1. Waits for the flow to execute required actions (lookups, API calls, logic).

2. Sends the a result back in the same HTTP transaction that triggered the flow.

3. Allows setting:

   • Response body using variables from previous steps (JSON/text).

   • HTTP status code and headers (e.g., Content-Type, custom keys).

   • Optional binary/file responses when relevant.

4. Lets us choose at which step the response should be returned (early return vs. end of flow).

Why this matters

• Synchronous request–response keeps integrations simple and predictable.

• Lower latency & fewer moving parts vs. sending results via a second, separate webhook.

• Reliability: One transaction, fewer failure points.

• Developer ergonomics: Return precisely what the caller expects, when they expect it.

Example use case

An external system posts to our Flow webhook to validate a customer. The flow queries Zoho CRM and a third-party API, computes a decision, and returns a JSON decision object in the original response—no second webhook, no polling.

We believe this enhancement would significantly strengthen Zoho Flow’s real-time integration capabilities.

Thank you for considering this request.

Best regards,
Ram
