[Ads-l] kick, v, without preposition, to start working?

[Dan Goncharoff]

Read the following today online at WSJ.com

"I had concerns that the company would have access to my active phone
calls, but the system only kicks when the call would have typically gone to
your carrier’s voice mail."

Is that a known usage for "kick"?
