`name` is the trigger without the `!` prefix; the bot's built-in triggers are reserved. Responses support the same template variables as the dashboard's Chat bot page - `{user}`, `{touser}`, `{args}`, `{arg:N}`, `{pick:a|b|c}`, `{random:1-100}`, `{list:name}`, `{if:...}`, `{repeat:N|...}`, `{uptime}`, `{ai:...}` and more, and variables nest (full reference: https://docs.tippage.com/chat-bot/variables). Response lists themselves are managed in the dashboard. Requires `commands:manage`.
