Respond to Webhook

The Respond to Webhook node sends a custom HTTP response back to the caller of a Webhook Trigger. It is used when you need full control over the HTTP response — custom status codes, headers, or body content.

Use Cases

Return a custom JSON response to an API caller after processing
Respond with a specific HTTP status code (e.g. 201 Created, 400 Bad Request)
Set custom response headers (e.g. Content-Type, X-Request-ID)
Build synchronous webhook endpoints that return processed data

Prerequisites

The orchestration’s Webhook Trigger must have Response Mode set to Using Respond to Webhook Node. If the response mode is set to Immediately or When Last Node Finishes, this node has no effect.
