# Start Call node

> Set the greeting and opening behavior of a workflow.

Use one Start Call node as the conversation's entry point. Write a short greeting and give the agent enough context to ask its first question.

Review interruption and voicemail settings, and decide whether to wait for a response. If the greeting needs customer data, configure [pre-call data fetch](/voice-agent/pre-call-data-fetch) and provide a useful fallback for missing values.

Connect the Start Call node to the next step, save, and test the opening of the call.
