### Answer Retell AI does not natively support automatically returning from a Global Node to the previous node in the conversation flow—this is an architectural limitation. [(1) ]() Workaround approach: You can build this behavior manually by storing the last node in a dynamic variable and then using a Logic Split node to route back based on that variable. [(2) ]() Steps: 1. Before transitioning to the global node, save the current node identifier into a dynamic variable. 2. After handling the global node interaction, use a Logic Split to check the stored variable and route back to the appropriate node. This requires manual setup but allows you to resume the original flow from where the user left off. You may also want to use fine-tune examples on your Global Node to control when the agent should (and should not) jump to it, which can help prevent unwanted transitions. [(3) ]() , [(4) ]()

### Answer --- I don't have specific information in the available sources about whether Flex Mode changes the behavior of returning from a Global Node. The sources mention that someone tried Flex Mode and found it "improved the voice AI communication better" but also noted issues with API calls—there's no mention of how it handles Global Node transitions. [(1) ]() The architectural limitation of not being able to return from a Global Node to the original position appears to be a general platform constraint, not something addressed by Flex Mode. [(2) ]() Check out these potentially useful sources: - [Global Node]() - [Flex Mode Documentation]() Would you like me to provide a general answer based on my knowledge, or would you prefer to reach out to Retell support for confirmation on Flex Mode behavior with Global Nodes?
