# CXStartCallAction

An encapsulation of the act of initiating an outgoing call.

## Declaration

```swift
class CXStartCallAction
```

## Mentioned in

Making and receiving VoIP calls

## Overview

Overview CXStartCallAction is a concrete subclass of CXCallAction. When the user initiates an outgoing call, the provider sends provider(_:perform:) to its delegate. The provider’s delegate calls the 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:).
