Webhook not returning execution information

[padett]

Describe the problem/error/question

When I run a webhook and try to return data in $execution I get the following

{
“id”: “UNKNOWN”,
“mode”: “test”,
“resumeUrl”: “https://n8n-dev.engage.sas.com/webhook-waiting/__UNKNOWN__”
}

I realize I can use a webhook response node but I was wondering if I am doing something wrong?
Can I at least get the execution ID from the webhook itself?

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

Share the output returned by the last node

Hi @padett Welcome to the community

When the trigger runs, no execution data would exist yet, and no execution ID has been assigned yet - so I believe this is actually intended behaviour. You’d need that Respond to Webhook node to get that data You’d also need to change from the webhook responding immediately to this option:
