    Busy working on sending JSON requests back to Zapier, here’s an example to help people get started. You can send an associative array of any data you need to get returned/shown.

    wp_send_json_success( array( 
        'name' => 'Andrew', 
        'call' => 'From some API/trigger', 
        'variable' => $var,
    ), 200 );

    Basic Example

    jQuery( document ).ready( function() {
    
    	jQuery( '#btn_save' ).click( function( e ) {
    		e.preventDefault();
    		jQuery.post( pluginUrl+ 'ajax/save_field.php', 
    			jQuery( '#my-form' ).serialize(), function( data ) {                        
    				alert( data.message ); 
    			}
    		);
    	} );
    } );

    save_field.php:

    // Bootstrap WP
    
    $return = array(
    	'message' => __( 'Saved', 'textdomain' ),
    	'ID'      => 1
    );
    wp_send_json_success( $return );
