However, here are the relevant options:
Agent-level interruption control:
You can set interruption_sensitivity at the agent level, with values ranging from 0 to 1. Setting it to 0 means the agent would never be interrupted.
[(1) ]()
Agent Transfer specific option:
For Agent Transfer, you can configure "Speak during execution and messages" — this controls if the agent should speak something while performing the transfer.
[(2) ]() , [(3) ]()
Potential workarounds:
1. Use Agent Transfer to a second agent configured with interruption_sensitivity: 0 specifically for delivering the transfer message, then transfer to the final destination agent.
[(2) ]() , [(3) ]()
2. If using Conversation Flow, you could potentially route to a node that uses an agent with interruptions disabled for that specific step.
The documentation does not show a way to dynamically toggle interruption behavior mid-conversation on a per-function basis. If this is a critical requirement, I'd suggest reaching out to Retell support:

Would you like a general answer on how this might be approached architecturally?AI Evy
