# UNTextInputNotificationResponse

The user’s response to an actionable notification, including any custom text that the user typed or dictated.

```
class UNTextInputNotificationResponse
```

## Overview

The system delivers a [`UNTextInputNotificationResponse`](/documentation/UserNotifications/UNTextInputNotificationResponse) object to your app so that you can process user-provided text content. When defining your categories, you can specify an [`UNTextInputNotificationAction`](/documentation/UserNotifications/UNTextInputNotificationAction) object instead of an [`UNNotificationAction`](/documentation/UserNotifications/UNNotificationAction) object for your action. If you do, the system creates an [`UNTextInputNotificationResponse`](/documentation/UserNotifications/UNTextInputNotificationResponse) object when the user selects the accompanying action, and it fills the [`userText`](/documentation/UserNotifications/UNTextInputNotificationResponse/userText) property with any user-entered text.

You don’t create [`UNTextInputNotificationResponse`](/documentation/UserNotifications/UNTextInputNotificationResponse) objects yourself. Instead, the shared user notification center object creates them and delivers them to the [`userNotificationCenter(_:didReceive:withCompletionHandler:)`](/documentation/UserNotifications/UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate/userNotificationCenter(_:didReceive:withCompletionHandler:)) method of its delegate object. Use that method to extract any needed information from the response object and take appropriate action.

For more information about responding to actions, see [Handling notifications and notification-related actions](/documentation/UserNotifications/handling-notifications-and-notification-related-actions).
