[SalesForce] Log a Call Quick Action from Contact Page

I used the following link (https://webkul.com/blog/how-to-create-a-custom-button-on-record-page-in-lightning-experience/) to create a Quick Action which opens a box.

I am trying to update the Lightning Component to actually open the Log a Call page.

I need the button to exist on the Contact record rather than the actual Activity component. I know in Classic you can create a custom button and place it on the Contact Page layout, how would you get it done in LEX?

Best Answer

If I understand you correctly - you want to open the Log A Call as a dialog - from an action button.

Although you can add a custom Quick action and set it's type as Log A Call:

But if you do that - the Log A Call opens in the Activity panel always, and not as a button on the action buttons:

So actual answer to your question: today this cannot be done.

WORKAROUND

You can of course develop your own lightning component and do the Log A Call functionality over there, then if you add this lightning component as a quick action - it will display as a button and will open as a modal.
