Based on the provided knowledge sources, there is no direct information about returning a session cookie from a verification webhook. However, I can provide some relevant information about session handling and webhooks in Ory: 1. Ory allows for automatic login after registration, which can be configured in the Ory Console. This is done by enabling the "Sign In After Registration" option [as described in the documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/identities/sign-in/actions#log-in-users-after-registration). 2. Webhooks in Ory can modify identities, including updating identity traits, metadata, and verification addresses. However, the documentation doesn't mention the ability to return a session cookie directly from a webhook [as explained in the webhook response handling documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/integrate-with-ory-cloud-through-webhooks#modify-identities). 3. The session creation process typically involves setting a cookie in the HTTP response, which is handled by Ory itself rather than by webhooks [as shown in the login flow documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service/flows/user-login#successful-login). Given this information, it appears that returning a session cookie directly from a verification webhook is not a standard feature in Ory. The session creation is typically handled by Ory's core functionality rather than by custom webhooks. If you need to implement custom behavior around login after verification, you might need to explore other approaches or consult with Ory support for advanced use cases not covered in the standard documentation.
