LINE is widely used in parts of Asia. Connect your Official Account so those customers reach the same inbox as everyone else.

What you need

  3. In Frosvo go to Channels, click Add channel and choose LINE. Pick the website, name the connection and paste both values.
  4. Click Save and check.
  5. Copy the address shown under Steps to turn it on in Frosvo. In LINE set it as the Webhook URL, switch on Use webhook, and switch off auto-reply messages.

  7. Make sure Account checked has a tick, then click Turn on messaging.
  8. Message your Official Account and confirm the chat appears in the Inbox, then reply.

What to expect

Customers' LINE messages appear as conversations from LINE. LINE signs every request with your channel secret and Frosvo verifies it, so forged messages are ignored.

Tips

  • Keep your channel secret and access token private. Saved secrets are never shown again in Frosvo.
  • Re-issue the token in LINE if you ever suspect it leaked, then paste the new one in Frosvo.
  • Match your brand's tone in replies, and use shared replies for common answers.

Troubleshooting

If messages do not arrive, check that the webhook is on and the URL matches exactly. See troubleshooting. Other chat apps: Viber and Telegram. All channels are listed in the channels overview.

Common questions

What if the secret changes? Update it in Frosvo and save, leaving the other fields as they are.

Why do customers get an automatic LINE answer? The built-in auto-reply is still on. Switch it off in LINE and keep Use webhook on.

Frequently asked questions

Why must I turn off auto-reply messages in LINE?

LINE's built-in auto-replies would answer customers before your team or Frosvo can, so they are turned off.

Which token do I need?

The long-lived channel access token, issued in the LINE Developers console, plus the channel secret.

How does Frosvo know a message is from LINE?

LINE signs each request with the channel secret, and Frosvo checks the signature.
