I am trying to implement a simple mock api that implements webhooks using flask-smorest.

Basically, I am trying to mimic an api that process a video and sends a post response of succesful/error once the video has finished processing the video to the entered webhook url.

I am using asyncio to achieve this. However, I am not able to call an asynchronous function inside the post route

If I call the async function with asyncio.create_task(start_monitor_status(job)) I get RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'start_monitor_status' was never awaited
return {"message": str(e)}, 500

however, if I make post async I get
The return type must be a string, dict, list, tuple with headers or status, Response instance, or WSGI callable, but it was a coroutine.
