Add “Webhook Response” action to return JSON directly to incoming webhooks (with header support)
GoHighLevel currently allows capturing inbound webhooks, but there is no way to send a response back to the original webhook request. Many modern API integrations require returning a JSON response on the same HTTP request, with headers such as: Content-Type: application/json Because GHL does not provide any “Response” or “Return to Webhook Source” action, these integrations are not possible today. Why this is important: Increasingly, external services expect automation platforms to: Receive an inbound webhook Process data Send back a synchronous JSON response to the same request A current example is the Fonio Voice Assistant, which personalizes phone calls based on data returned by the webhook consumer. If GHL cannot return a JSON response, the integration fails completely. Other platforms (Make, Zapier, n8n, etc.) support webhook responses — adding this to GHL would unlock many real-time integrations. Requested Feature: Add an action in Workflows: “Webhook Response” / “Return to Source” This action should: Return data to the original incoming webhook Allow setting HTTP headers (especially Content-Type: application/json) Support JSON bodies Ideally allow selecting status codes (200 default) Additional Enhancements Header editor (Content-Type, charset, custom headers) Ability to handle multiple response formats (JSON, text, XML) Logging of the returned response for debugging Example Use Cases: Voice assistants needing synchronous data responses Payment gateways requiring acknowledgment payloads SaaS tools that validate events based on returned JSON Real-time bot or messaging platforms Systems that require returning temporary tokens or challenge validations Impact Implementing this feature would: ✔ Enable real-time integrations ✔ Bring GHL in line with other automation platforms ✔ Prevent users from needing external servers or proxies ✔ Greatly expand GHL’s API interoperability This would be a high-value enhancement for agencies, automation builders, and SaaS integrators.
