bot start conversation based on another bot

Hi there,
First, thanks for your great library.
At the moment, we have another bot (bot A) in our channel. I want my bot (botkit) to listen to these messages and start conversation with another member (John).
Like this:

Bot A: Yay! Build #1550 passed 
Botkit: hi @john, do you want to deploy it now? 
John: yes, please do it
Botkit: Done! 

How can I achieve this use botkit? I can listen on bot_message event but I don't know how to start conversation with another member?

Ok, I figured it out.
I need to create a message object to do so.

    const context = {
      user: config.owner,
      channel: message.channel
    }
    bot.startConversation(context, (err, convo) => {
    // conversation logic goes here
    });

Just wondering if this is the right way to do it?

Yes, this is how to do it.
