Hi everyone,

I have a scenario that starts with a Webhook trigger.  
Is there a way to configure the webhook to respond with the header:

**Content-Type: application/json**

instead of:

**text/plain; charset=utf-8**

I’m fine with an empty response body — I just want the response to be recognized as JSON.

The reason I’m not using the Webhook Response module is that I want to reduce the number of operations used by the scenario.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

No, it is not possible.

You must use the **Webhook Response** module and customize headers or use a bridge between the webhook trigger and Make to customize webhook handling.
