# init(position:visibility:assistantAction:)

Creates a configuration object with the specified position, visibility, and action.

```
init(position: CPListItem.AssistantCellPosition, visibility: CPListItem.AssistantCellVisibility, assistantAction: CPAssistantCellActionType)
```

## Parameters

`position`

The position of the assistant cell in the list template. For possible values, see [`CPListItem.AssistantCellPosition`](/documentation/CarPlay/CPListItem/AssistantCellPosition).

`visibility`

The visibility of the assistant cell. For possible values, see [`CPListItem.AssistantCellVisibility`](/documentation/CarPlay/CPListItem/AssistantCellVisibility).

`assistantAction`

The action that Siri performs when the user selects the assistant cell. For possible values, see [`CPAssistantCellActionType`](/documentation/CarPlay/CPAssistantCellActionType).

## Discussion

Your app doesn’t receive a callback when the user selects the assistant cell. Instead, you configure an Intents Extension to handle the type of intent you specify in `assistantAction`; audio apps must support <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Intents/INPlayMediaIntent> and communication apps must support <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Intents/INStartCallIntent>. The assistant cell is unavailable in all other app categories.
