Auto Call forward with Tasker or not

I am trying to use Tasker to automatically forward my mobile calls to my desk phone when I am in the office. The profiles and tasks are set up fine but my One M8 gives an on screen prompt each and every time and, if I do not catch it, then it will not forward. Any ideas or thoughts?

I am open to automating this with a different app if there is a better way.

Thanks in advance
 
I am using VZW and understand their process but want to automate it daily when I hit a the wifi at work...
 
Can't Tasker call out? So when you are connected to work wifi, have tasker call: *72 followed by the 10-digit forwarding phone number (e.g., *72-999-555-4567).
add a delay to wait for confirmation beeps/message.

and when you disconnect from wifi have it call *73 and wait for confirmation.
 
The phone prompts me to confirm that I want to place the call so I need to remember to look at my screen. Previous phones would allow this to happen seamlessly and that is gone.

Am I explaining that clearly?

Have you found a solution? What about using the conditional call forwarding. Not ideal but theoretically should work after a number of rings on the device. That is what I am going to try unless another solution is identified.
