LINE

Introduction

The LINE integration allows you to send messages to a LINE chat. You can use this integration to send notifications, alerts, and updates to your LINE contacts.

It's powered by LINE Messaging API, which allows you to add LINE to your app or website to reach your customers. You can respond to messages, send stickers, images, videos, and more.

There is an LINE Notify integration also, helps you to send notifications from your app to LINE users. It will replace the LINE Messaging API with the LINE Notify API to send messages if you enable it.

Prerequisites

Before you can set up the LINE integration, you need to have the following:

A LINE account
A LINE channel
A LINE bot

Setting up the integration

Here will show you how to set up the LINE integration by creating a LINE bot and adding it to a chat.

Create a LINE bot

To set up the LINE integration, you need to create a LINE bot in your LINE account. You can do this by following these steps:

Open LINE Developers.
Log in to your LINE account.
Go to the LINE Developers Console.
Click on the "Create a new provider" button.
Enter the provider name and description.
Click on the "Create" button.
Enter the provider you just created.
Click on the "Create a new channel" button.
Fill in the required information for the channel.
Click on the "Create" button.
Click on the "Issue" button to generate a channel access token.
Copy the channel access token and channel secret into the channelAccessToken and channelSecret fields respectively (see the Configure section).
Add the LINE bot to your chat you're hoping to bridging it.
Start a chat with the bot and send a command to verify that it is working.

Here is the official documentation for creating a LINE bot: LINE Messaging API

Create a LINE Notify Service Provider (Optional)

To set up the LINE Notify integration, you need to create a LINE Notify service provider in your LINE account.

Submit the form with the Agree and continue button.
On the confirmation page, click on the Add button.
