### Answer Based on the available information, Retell AI currently does not support returning from Global Nodes to the original conversation flow position. [(1) ]() This is an architectural limitation of the platform. When a conversation transitions to a Global Node, you cannot configure the agent to automatically return to the previous node where the transition occurred. Once in a Global Node, you would need to explicitly define transition conditions to move to specific nodes, but there's no built-in mechanism to "remember" and return to the originating node. If you need this functionality, you can request it as a feature in the feature requests channel. Workaround considerations: Some users have moved away from Conversation Flow to single prompt agents for complex scenarios that require more flexible conversation paths. [(2) ]() [(3) ]()

### Answer You're right to point out that setting. While the Discord discussions mentioned that automatic return wasn't supported, there's a manual workaround available. [(1) ]() According to a Retell support response, Retell doesn't automatically return from global nodes, but you can build this functionality by storing the last node in a variable and routing back manually with a Logic Split. So when writing your global node prompt, you would: 1. Store the previous node identifier in a dynamic variable before transitioning to the global node 2. In your global node, handle the interaction 3. Use transition conditions with that stored variable to route back to the appropriate node The "Go back to previous node" setting you mentioned likely enables this capability, allowing you to configure conditions for returning to whichever node triggered the global node transition.
