# CXStartCallAction

An encapsulation of the act of initiating an outgoing call.

```
class CXStartCallAction
```

## Overview

[`CXStartCallAction`](/documentation/CallKit/CXStartCallAction) is a concrete subclass of [`CXCallAction`](/documentation/CallKit/CXCallAction). When the user initiates an outgoing call, the provider sends [`provider(_:perform:)`](/documentation/CallKit/CXProviderDelegate/provider(_:perform:)-2lem5) to its delegate. The provider’s delegate calls the [`fulfill()`](/documentation/CallKit/CXAction/fulfill()) method to indicate that the action was successfully performed. To indicate that the call started at a time other than the current time, you can instead call the [`fulfill(withDateStarted:)`](/documentation/CallKit/CXStartCallAction/fulfill(withDateStarted:)).

## Topics

[`-  initWithCoder:`](/documentation/CallKit/CXStartCallAction/init(coder:))

Creates a new action to start a call with data in an unarchiver.

### Accessing Action Attributes
