Welcome to the community @yasin.tahasildar!

You can either configure the Webhook-Node to return the data:

  • of the last node and return the execution-ID with the last node or
  • via that Respond to Webhook-Node and return it via that node

You can access the current execution ID via $execution.id. Meaning it could, for example, be an expression like:

{{ $execution.id }}

I hope that is helpful!
