Send LINE messages

This guide walks you through how LINE messaging works in Pushwoosh, the conditions under which messages can be delivered, and how to send LINE messages via Customer Journey or free-form chat.

LINE messages can only be delivered under the following conditions:

  • The user has added your LINE Official Account as a friend.
  • Your LINE Official Account is part of a group or multi-person chat.
  • The user has messaged your LINE Official Account in a 1:1 chat within the last 7 days, even if they have not added you as a friend.

When a message is sent, a 200 OK status code may be returned even if the message is not delivered. Delivery will fail under the following circumstances:

  • The user has deleted their LINE account.
  • The user has blocked your LINE Official Account.
  • The user has not added your LINE Official Account as a friend.

Refer to the official LINE Messaging API documentation for more details.

Send free-form messages and view your LINE conversations

Section titled “Send free-form messages and view your LINE conversations”

Use the LINE Messages interface to view and manage direct conversations with users on the LINE platform. This inbox automatically displays users you’ve interacted with. You can view message history and reply in a 1:1 chat format.

Messages sent through this interface are delivered as standard LINE chat messages and follow LINE’s delivery rules (e.g., the user must have contacted your LINE Official Account within the last 7 days if they haven’t added it as a friend).

Free-form messages chat

Use the Search field at the top left to look up users by identifier. This helps you quickly find the conversation you want to continue.

Once you select a user from the list, their message history will appear in the center panel. This allows you to review past interactions before replying.

To send a message:

  1. Type your message in the Message field at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Click Send to send the message.Send free-form messages

Use the Pushwoosh API to send LINE messages. This method supports both template-based and plain-text (free-form) messages.
