Returns a custom JSON response from the workflow execution.

Returns a custom JSON object as the workflow's response and ends the run — this is a terminal node with no exits. The response body can embed `$(name)` variables, so you can return values computed earlier in the flow. Use it when a workflow is invoked for its result (for example via the Integration or Invoke Lambda path) rather than to drive a conversation.
