I am using an HTTP Trigger, but I want it to wait and return a result at the end of the workflow instead of immediately returning after the trigger happens. Is this possible?
Yes, it is possible to have an HTTP trigger wait and return a result at the end of the workflow instead of immediately returning after the trigger happens. This behavior can be controlled using the $respond() function within your workflow. Here’s a brief example of how you might use $respond() in a Node.js code step: export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Your workflow logic here // At the end of your workflow, use $respond to return a custom response $.respond({ status: 200, headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, body: { message: "Workflow completed successfully" }, }); }, }); In this example, the HTTP trigger will hold the request open until the workflow completes, and then return the response specified in $respond(). Please note that HTTP triggers have a timeout limit, so the workflow must complete before this timeout is reached. For more details on HTTP triggers and their limits, you can refer to the HTTP triggers documentation.
I get an error that says my trigger is not configured to allow a custom response. How do I fix it?
nevermind, I found it.
