### Answer Yes, a subagent node can transition to the next node immediately after the agent finishes speaking, without requiring user input [(1) ]() . You need to enable the Skip Response setting on the subagent node . When Skip Response is enabled, the transition will only have one edge that you can connect, and when the agent is done talking, it will transition to the next node via that specific edge . The key conditions for when a transition can happen are : - When the user is done speaking - When Skip Response is enabled and the agent finishes speaking So with Skip Response enabled, after a tool call executes and the agent speaks about the result (if "Speak After Execution" is enabled) , the flow will automatically move to the next node without waiting for the user to say anything .

### Answer I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. You're correct - Skip Response is not available on subagent nodes [(1) ]() . According to the documentation, Skip Response is only available on conversation nodes [(2) ]() , not subagent nodes. The subagent node settings listed in the documentation are [(1) ]() : - **Tools**: attach the tools/functions this subagent can use during the conversation - **Knowledge Base**: configure node-level knowledge bases - Global Node - **Block Interruptions**: when enabled, the agent will not be interrupted by user when speaking - **LLM**: choose a different model for this particular node - Fine-tuning Examples For a subagent node, transitions can happen : - When user is done speaking - When Skip Response is enabled and agent finishes speaking However, since Skip Response is not actually available on subagent nodes, the transition will require the user to finish speaking. If you need automatic transition without user input after a tool call, you may need to use a function node instead, which executes deterministically and can be followed by a conversation node with Skip Response enabled to move the flow forward automatically.

### Answer Based on the documentation, Skip Response should appear in the Node Settings section of a conversation node [(1) ]() . According to the official documentation, the node settings for a conversation node include : - **Skip Response**: when enabled, the transition will only have one edge that you can connect, and when agent is done talking, it will transition to the next node via that specific edge - **Knowledge Base**: configure node-level knowledge bases to combine topic-specific knowledge with the agent-level knowledge base - Global Node - **Block Interruptions**: when enabled, the agent will not be interrupted by user when speaking - **LLM**: choose a different model for this particular node - Fine-tuning Examples If you're not seeing the Skip Response option on your conversation node, this could be: 1. A UI issue where the setting isn't displaying properly 2. A feature availability issue depending on your account or plan type 3. The node type might not actually be set to "conversation" - double-check that it's specifically a Conversation Node and not a Subagent Node (which doesn't have Skip Response) [(1) ]() [(2) ]() I'd recommend reaching out to Retell support directly if the Skip Response toggle isn't appearing in your conversation node settings, as it should be there according to the documentation.

### Answer I understand your confusion. Based on what you're showing me, it appears the Skip Response feature may not be visible in your current conversation node interface. However, there's an alternative approach mentioned in the community: you can configure the transition conditions themselves rather than a node-level setting [(1) ]() . When you add an edge/transition from your conversation node, look for transition options that allow the flow to proceed without waiting for user input . Specifically, when setting up transitions between nodes, check if there's a "skip user response" transition type available when you're configuring the edge that connects your conversation node to the next node . If you're still not seeing these options, I recommend: 1. Check if your agent is using the latest Conversation Flow features 2. Try creating a new conversation node to see if the interface differs 3. Contact Retell support directly, as there may be account-specific feature availability or a UI issue The community has noted similar questions about getting conversation nodes to speak and transition immediately after function nodes complete , so this is a known use case that should be supported.

### Answer Based on the available documentation, I don't have specific instructions on how to verify if your agent is using the latest Conversation Flow features [(1) ]() . However, I can suggest checking the following: 1. **Agent Type**: Ensure your agent is created as a Conversation Flow agent (not a Single Prompt or Multi-Prompt agent) [(2) ]() [(1) ]() 2. **Dashboard Access**: Navigate to your Dashboard and verify you're working with a conversation flow agent that shows the node-based editor [(1) ]() 3. **Available Node Types**: Check if you have access to all the node types mentioned in the documentation, including Conversation nodes, Subagent nodes, Function nodes, Logic nodes, and End nodes Regarding the Skip Response feature you're looking for: based on the official documentation, Skip Response should be available in conversation node settings [(3) ]() . However, since you're not seeing it in your interface, I recommend: - *Visit [Documentation]() * - *Visit [Hire certified Retell partner]() * They can verify your account configuration and confirm whether all Conversation Flow features are enabled for your agent.
