title: "Place an outbound call"
description: "Trigger a Dograh voice agent to call a phone number from the SDK"
---
Use the SDK to place a test outbound call from a specific agent to a phone number. This is the same endpoint used by the **Test Call** button in the Dograh UI.
## Prerequisites
- A Dograh [API key](/configurations/api-keys) exported as `DOGRAH_API_KEY`
- A published agent (you need the agent ID)
- A configured telephony provider — see [Telephony](/integrations/telephony/overview) for Twilio, Vonage, and other setups
## Place the call
<CodeGroup>
```python Python
from dograh_sdk import DograhClient
from dograh_sdk._generated_models import InitiateCallRequest
with DograhClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY") as client:
client.test_phone_call(
body=InitiateCallRequest(
workflow_id=123,
phone_number="+14155551234",
)
)
```
```typescript TypeScript
import { DograhClient } from "@dograh/sdk";
const client = new DograhClient({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY" });
await client.testPhoneCall({
body: {
workflow_id: 123,
phone_number: "+14155551234",
},
});
```
</CodeGroup>
## Inspect the run
Every call creates a **run** you can inspect afterwards. See [Calls & runs](/core-concepts/calls-and-runs) for what's tracked, or use the [Runs API](/api-reference/agents/runs/list) to list and fetch runs programmatically.
## Bulk campaigns
For placing many calls at once (say, from a CSV), use [Campaigns](/core-concepts/campaigns) rather than looping over `test_phone_call` — campaigns handle pacing, retries, and progress tracking.
