Set the agent to auto-answer ACD calls. That will lessen the chance of the call being transferred externally while waiting for the agent to pick up the call.
It is still a race condition, but much less likely to happen.
The other option is to staff more agents to cut down on the wait time. :-)

Subject: Alerting and trasfer to external number
Hi all,
I'm exposing a problem we have from a customer to see if you have any ideas to mitigate it.
The call is queued by an ivr and, after 3 minutes, is transferred to an external number.
if an agent is available to take call few second before the Acd timeout (in our example 3 minutes), the Agent go in alerting but the call is grabbed by the timeout of the ACD and transferred outside.
The Agent see the call for less than 1 sec but is unable to pickup the call due to ACD timeout.
Is there a way to avoid this behaviour?
Thank you for your help!
