Hi @misterKev! Welcome to Zapier!

At this time, Zapier only supports one way web hooks. You can set triggers to send data to it, and you can have it manipulate and pass data along to other apps, but it cannot at this time perform live actions within an active browser session.

There was some work to develop a Zapier “API Builder” within the last two years, which allowed for making a call to Zapier, performing your actions, and then returning a response back to the client, but that project was shut down in its Alpha phase and I’m not sure they have any plans to develop it further in the future.
