init(destinationType: INCallDestinationType, contacts: [INPerson]?)
```

## Parameters

- `destinationType`: The type of call to place.

## Discussion

Discussion Normally, you don’t create instances of this class yourself. Instead, Siri creates instances when the user asks to place a call to another user. However, you can use this method during testing to create intent objects in order to validate your intent handling code paths.
