Wait for webhook trigger

Is it possible to configure an action in a workflow to wait for a webhook trigger?

Context: we initiate a background check using POST web API action. We can configure the background check service to send us a webhook once the background check is complete. I'd like to leverage this, instead of using a "check status" GET call on a loop.

So our workflow would look something like this:
1. POST -- create application
2. Wait for webhook trigger
3. Send Email to candidate with next steps

Is this possible?

    Could you do step 1 in a workflow. And then set up another workflow with a webhook trigger that does step 2 and 3? That pattern would work well generally with async web api calls.
