Any way to return JSON specific to the request?

I might be missing it, but it seems like Receiver is best suited for handling webhooks asynchronously. Is there any way to return any custom response back to the caller? Everything I do leaves me with a blank json object?

I think it's ok if so, I can handle things asyc (even better really) but in some cases, I might want to handle sync and reply back with a payload of the action that took place.

Ya, you could do something like this in your controller:

return Receiver::driver($provider)
            ->receive($request);

return response()->json(... whatever you want here ...);

Basically it just ignores whatever happens and responds.

I want it to respond back with the actual output/work of the webhook. Whenever I run it - it seems to run the hook action async and thus every response is just {}

I think I'm likely doing something wrong.
