Is it possible to return a response and call a function together with it in Laravel?

I'm trying to return a response via my API function and it works just fine. However, right now, I'm trying to execute a public function in the same controller whilst also returning a response. Is this possible? 

return response()->json($success);

But what I want is to send the above response together with this;

return $this->sendSMS($data);

($data) has been predefined already.

Are there any ways to do this?

Why don't you just add it to data?

$dataWithResponse = compact('data', 'response');
try {
    $this->sendSMS($dataWithResponse);
} catch(/Exception $e) {
    // Somehow handle exception
    echo $e->getMessage();
    return response()->json($success);
}
return response()->json($success);
