How to use

• Simple response text.

  script:
      $response.replies = $response.replies || [];
      $response.replies.push({
          "type": "text",
          "text": "Lucky you! You’ve got 15% off for our service."
      });

• Response text with HTML markup.

  script:
      $response.replies = $response.replies || [];
      $response.replies.push({
          "type": "text",
          "text": "<i>Hello!</i>",
          "markup": "html"
      });

• Response text with Markdown markup.

  script:
      $response.replies = $response.replies || [];
      $response.replies.push({
          "type": "text",
          "text": "**I am your personal virtual assistant**",
          "markup": "markdown"
      });
