return value from quickbase webhook pipeline

I have a pipeline that is triggered via a webhook.  That is, when I call a URL like "www.pipelines.quickbase.com/hooks/webhooks/XXXXXX"  it runs the pipeline. 

The issue is that I am calling this via a popup window and when it runs the window remains completely blank so the user has no idea if something is happening.   I can write some html/javascript to print something out and call the webhook but I need a way to return a response object or something like that when the pipeline is finished so that I can display "all done" or something like that to the user.   Is there any way to do this?

    Have you tried using formula URL's in Kirk Trachy's "Magic Buttons" example app? Specifically "14A. Change Status to Not Started 2.5 Sec DELAY Return (CODE PAGE)". There is a button that links to a code page, which will display a "Processing" screen for X seconds, while the pipeline is running. I use this alot. The user clicks a button. The button formula checks a checkbox, which triggers the pipeline to run. The screen shows Processing, then returns the user to the previous screen.
