if the receptionist use blind transfer you can do this  :

To get call back from blind transfer

use the ${BLINDTRANSFER} variable to callback when no one answer the 
transfered call.

exten => _XXX,1,NoOp(${UNIQUEID} - ${DATETIME} - ${CALLERID} => 
${EXTEN}) ; Add some call tracing
exten => _XXX,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},5,mTt)
exten => _XXX,3,Gotoif($["x${BLINDTRANSFER}"="x"]?4:5)
exten => _XXX,4,Hangup
exten => _XXX,5,Set(tx=${BLINDTRANSFER:0:7})
exten => _XXX,6,Set(CALLERID(all)=RET_${EXTEN} <${CALLERID(num)}>)
exten => _XXX,7,Dial(${tx},,mTt)
exten => _XXX,8,Hangup
;
exten => _XXX,103,Set(tx=${BLINDTRANSFER:0:7})
exten => _XXX,104,Wait(5)
exten => _XXX,105,Set(CALLERID(all)=ERR_${EXTEN} <${CALLERID(num)}>)
exten => _XXX,106,Dial(${tx},,mTt)
exten => _XXX,107,Hangup

example from
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+config+features.conf


my macro for interal call (with custom ring different from external call)

[macro-int]
exten => s,1,Set(_ALERT_INFO=Custom 1)
exten => s,n,Dial(${ARG1},60)
exten => s,n,Gotoif($["x${BLINDTRANSFER}"="x"]?:jump)
exten => s,n,Hangup
exten => s,n(jump),Set(tx=${BLINDTRANSFER:0:7})
exten => s,n,Set(CALLERID(all)=RET_${EXTEN} <${CALLERID(num)}>)
exten => s,n,Dial(${tx},20)
exten => s,n,Hangup
