You'll walk away with an understanding of how to interact with your [Voiceflow assistant](https://www.voiceflow.com/) within your own integration using a simple text input. Plus, I'll cover how to render responses—text, images, and audio—from the Assistant. Watch my walkthrough below. And if you'd like to build along with me, scroll down to see everything you'll need and where to find it. [https://www.loom.com/share/3a5ae6073e674c6fbcafb81bf39e4b30](https://www.loom.com/share/3a5ae6073e674c6fbcafb81bf39e4b30) To get started with this project, you'll need your **Voiceflow Assistant Dialog API key**. You must have this key every time you want to make a request to the **/interact **endpoint. How to obtain your API key: 1. Log in to [Voiceflow Creator](https://creator.voiceflow.com/) 2. Open your Assistant 3. Select the **Integrations icon** in the left sidebar (or press "5"), select the **Dialog API integration**, then select** “Copy API Key”** Integrations section of the Assistant in Voiceflow Creator ### Project source The source of this project is [publicly available on Github](https://github.com/voiceflow-gallagan/webpage-chat), where you can fork it and tweak it as you like. ### Project structure **index.html**: This file contains the main structure of the webpage, including loading the Google Fonts, the main scripts.js file, and the siriwave library. This is also where we're setting the data-version attribute we then use in our Dialog API request header to interact with the chosen version of our Assistant. **styles.css**: This file contains the styles for the webpage, such as animations for fading in and out, and other visual elements. You can customize this file to match your own design preferences. **scripts.js**: This file contains the JavaScript code for handling the interaction with the Voiceflow Dialog API, fetching a random image from the /images directory to use it as a background, and rendering the responses on the webpage. This is also in this file that we set the Dialog API key. **[siriwave.umd.min.js**](https://github.com/kopiro/siriwave): This file contains the JavaScript code for generating the wave animation when we play audio. **/image** directory: Here, find the selected images we want to use for the background. All images are from [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/), created by [Pawel Czerwinski](https://unsplash.com/pt-br/@pawel_czerwinski). ### Dialog API usage in script.js The main function for interacting with the [Voiceflow Dialog API](https://developer.voiceflow.com/reference/stateinteract-1) is the `**interact()**` function in the scripts.js file. This function sends a POST request to the Dialog API with the necessary headers, including the Version ID and API key. It also includes a config object in the body of the request to configure certain aspects of the interaction, such as enabling Text-to-Speech (TTS) and removing SSML tags. The response from the [Dialog API](https://developer.voiceflow.com/reference/stateinteract-1) is then processed by the `**displayResponse()**` function, which iterates through the items in the response and renders them on the webpage. This includes handling speak steps with text and audio, text steps, and visual steps with images. To ensure that the audio plays at the correct time and does not overlap with other audio, a queue is used to manage the playback of audio files. ## More Voiceflow projects and tutorials - [How to use Voiceflow’s API export endpoint to fetch your Voiceflow Assistant files effortlessly](https://www.voiceflow.com/stories/voiceflow-api-export-endpoint) - [Prompt chaining for conversational AI](https://www.voiceflow.com/stories/prompt-chaining-conversational-ai) Last updated: March 18, 2024 Share this article Related articles ### [![Voiceflow is a G2 Fall 2026 Leader, and #1 where it counts most](https://www.voiceflow.com/images/g2-fall-2026-leader-hero.webp)Voiceflow is a G2 Fall 2026 Leader, and #1 where it counts mostRead](https://www.voiceflow.com/stories/voiceflow-g2-fall-2026-leader) ### [![Pick the smaller number, then earn the bigger one](https://www.voiceflow.com/images/6a74e034088b68b5e8cdc6f1_blog-thumb.webp)Pick the smaller number, then earn the bigger oneRead](https://www.voiceflow.com/stories/pick-the-smaller-number-then-earn-the-bigger-one)
