Webhook response requirements for Zoom Phone and Chatfuel

I’m an automation consultant and lately I came across a couple situations where the entity sending a Webhook was requiring a custom response (other than Zapier’s “200 Ok” default).

 

One situation was Zoom Phone API, where I needed to set a Webhook subscription to have my workflow listen for new incoming SMS and Voicemail recordings. However Zoom Phone first challenges the endpoint and expects a decrypted token in the response in order to activate the subscription. The other situation was chatfuel.com, which lets users send POST requests and gather dynamic values directly from the response.

 

My point is, in both cases I had to use Make.com to realize these projects when I would have been happy to keep using Zapier. Am I the only one who encountered this kind of experience? Could we expect a “Webhook Response” action on Zapier anytime soon?
