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?

What you want to use here is Make, as they support webhook responses. Check out https://www.make.com/en/help/tools/webhooks

No affiliation, I just assumed Zapier could do this (and am slightly annoyed they can't).

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).
