            "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>",

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