I need a clean way for the assistant to hand the caller off to a human agent without triggering the original forwarding rule. Is that even possible? or what is the recommended approach?

06/11/2025, 5:55 PMI tried warm mode. It transferred the call as expected, however, the AI assistant picked the phone up again. Number A has a auto-forward to the AI assistant phone number. So when the Assistant forwards to Number A it gets picked up by the assistant again. Is that expected tho? seems logical but just want to check with you.

- We have a main business number (Number A) configured with multiple extensions.
- Normally, when someone calls Number A, all extensions ring simultaneously (ring group/hunt group), and any staff member can answer.
What We Want:
- Weād like a way for the AI assistant to easily transfer the call back to the ring group (all extensions) on Number A, so that any staff can pick up from there
Question: is there a method for the assistant to transfer the call back to the entire group of extensions on Number A (rather than to a single line, which might trigger a forwarding loop)?
