How to return data from API Workflow and block until complete?

Ugh…

Let us return data from API workflows

Hi there, I made a similar idea post a while back about a similar feature request, but for custom events. Apparently that’s being worked on as we speak. This same idea should extend to API workflows, in my opinion. Scheduling API workflows are useful, but they lack the ability to return values (like any other API call can do). For example, what if I want to schedule an API workflow and use its “returned data” in the following action step? CONTEXT We can return data from API workflows but on…

TL;DR
Not possible without hacky work-around and taking on some level of security risk.
