# CPContactTemplate

A template that displays information about a person or a business.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor class CPContactTemplate
```

## Overview

Overview The contact template can provide up to four contextual actions a user can invoke. For example, you might have an action that provides directions to the contact’s address. When creating a contact template, you provide an instance of CPContact that contains a contact’s name and image, and optional subtitle. The object also contains any actions relevant to the contact. CarPlay provides specialized buttons for common actions, such as CPContactCallButton or CPContactMessageButton. To display a contact template, call your interface controller’s pushTemplate(_:animated:completion:) method to push it onto the navigation hierarchy, or presentTemplate(_:animated:completion:) to present it modally. note: CPContactTemplate is only available in apps that have the communication or navigation entitlements.
