How can an external service call into Salesforce and pop-up a form?

An external service can send us the FIrst Name, Last Name and Email of a Customer Contact.  In Salesforce, I need to pop-up a Form (lwc, visual force whichever is easier), show the incoming First Name, Last Name, Email and provide a submit button.  Upon clicking the submit button I go and create a contact with that information.  How can I accomplish the screen pop when that external service calls one of the Salesforce endpoint?

There is no direct way for this since external service will be running on server.

One workaround might be:
1. Use push topic for contact creation
2. Subscribe to that and use VF to show the data

But this will work only if user if one the same VF page. Refer the URL for details -> https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/139567/visual-force-page-refreshed-after-data-changed-in-custom-objects.

I am not sure if it will fit in your use case.
