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"
    });

Only the chat widget, Chat API, and Telegram support HTML markup. In other channels, the client will receive a message without formatting.

Response text with Markdown markup.

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