[stop]: /docs/server-sdks/reference/typescript/relay/actions/standalone-collect-action/stop

[startinputtimers]: /docs/server-sdks/reference/typescript/relay/actions/standalone-collect-action/start-input-timers

Returned from [`call.collect()`][call-collect].
Tracks a standalone input collection (without an accompanying play prompt).
Terminal states: `finished`, `error`, `no_input`, `no_match`.

Inherits all properties and methods from the
[base Action interface][base-action-interface] (`controlId`,
`isDone`, `completed`, `result`, `wait()`).

## **Properties**

No additional properties beyond the [base Action interface][base-action-interface].

## **Methods**

#### [stop](/docs/server-sdks/reference/typescript/relay/actions/standalone-collect-action/stop)

Stop the collect operation.

#### [startInputTimers](/docs/server-sdks/reference/typescript/relay/actions/standalone-collect-action/start-input-timers)

Manually start the initial\_timeout timer on an active collect.

## **Example**

```typescript {11}
import { RelayClient } from '@signalwire/sdk';

const client = new RelayClient({
  project: process.env.SIGNALWIRE_PROJECT_ID!,
  token: process.env.SIGNALWIRE_API_TOKEN!,
  contexts: ['default']
});

client.onCall(async (call) => {
  await call.answer();
  const action = await call.collect({
    speech: { end_silence_timeout: 2.0 },
    initialTimeout: 10.0,
    startInputTimers: false,
  });

  const event = await action.wait();
  const result = event.params.result ?? {};
});

await client.run();
```
