<@1145576664366055464> can you go to a global node from a component

Thanks for tagging me <@892759129037340712>. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.

### Answer
 

Yes, you can transition to a global node from anywhere in the conversation flow. Global nodes are designed to be accessible from any point in the call. [(1) ](<https://docs.retellai.com/build/conversation-flow/global-node>)

When you set a node as a global node by checking the `Global Node` checkbox in node settings, you configure a condition for when it should be transitioned to. Any time during the call when that condition is met and the agent is performing a transition, the global node will be triggered. 

Since global nodes can be transitioned to from anywhere, they don't necessarily need to be connected to the rest of the graph. 

Note that Retell doesn't automatically return from global nodes. If you need to return to the previous node after handling the global node interaction, you can build this by storing the last node in a variable and routing back manually with a Logic Split.
