# Interactive

### What can I do with TidyLabs Interactive?

TidyLabs Interactive is built into the **Alert Box** overlay.  However, you will need to copy the new Alert Box URL and ensure that Interactive is selected, or just add "**\&interactive=1**" to the end of your current browser source.

To activate an alert, the user types a chat command that you have created such as **!wiggle**, and providing they have enough points, will show the alert on your stream.
