LINE is one of the most popular messaging platforms in Japan and across Asia, making it an important communication channel for many photographers and businesses.

By connecting LINE to your KaChick AI Assistant, you can automatically respond to enquiries, receive conversation summaries, and manage messages from your KaChick Dashboard.

In this guide, we'll walk you through the setup process step by step.

Before You Start

To connect LINE to KaChick, you'll need:

• A LINE Account

• A LINE Official Account

• A Messaging API Channel

• Channel ID

• Channel Secret

• Channel Access Token

If you don't have a LINE Official Account yet, don't worry; we'll cover that below.

Step 1: Access the LINE Developers Console

Visit the LINE Developers Console and sign in using your LINE Account or Business Account.

If this is your first time using LINE Developers, you'll be asked to complete your registration by entering your developer name and email address.

Step 2: Create a Provider

Inside the LINE Developers Console:

1. Navigate to Providers

2. Enter your provider name (usually your company or business name)

3. Click Create

Step 3: Create a Messaging API Channel

Open your newly created Provider.

Then:

1. Click Create a Messaging API Channel

2. Select Create a LINE Official Account

Step 4: Create Your LINE Official Account

Complete the LINE Official Account setup by:

• Verifying your account via SMS

• Filling in the required information

• Submitting the registration form

Once completed, you'll be redirected to the LINE Official Account Manager.

Step 5: Enable the Messaging API

In the LINE Official Account Manager:

1. Open Settings

2. Select Messaging API

3. Click Enable Messaging API

This allows your LINE Official Account to communicate with KaChick AI Assistant.

Step 6: Retrieve Your Channel Credentials

Return to the LINE Developers Console and open your Messaging API Channel.

Copy the following information:

Basic Settings

• Channel ID

• Channel Secret

Messaging API

• Channel Access Token (click Issue to generate one)

Keep these credentials handy—you'll need them in the next step.

Step 7: Connect LINE to KaChick

Log in to your KaChick Dashboard and open My Assistant.

Select LINE and enter:

• Channel Access Token

Click Connect to complete the integration.

Step 8: Configure Response Settings

Open the LINE Official Account Manager.

Webhooks must be enabled for KaChick AI Assistant to receive and respond to incoming messages.

Step 9: Share Your LINE QR Code

Once your account is connected, you can start sharing your LINE Official Account.

In LINE Official Account Manager:

Home → Promote Your Account → QR Code

Download or share your QR code with clients.

Step 10: Verify Your Integration

Send a test message to your LINE Official Account.

Make sure:

• Your AI Assistant responds

• The conversation appears in My Activity

• The conversation summary is generated successfully

If you can receive messages through LINE and view the summary in My Activity, your setup is complete.

What Happens After You Connect?

Once LINE is connected, your KaChick AI Assistant can:

• Respond to enquiries through LINE

• Answer common questions using your assistant knowledge base

• Send conversation summaries to your dashboard

• Display conversations inside My Activity

• Help you stay on top of new enquiries without constantly checking multiple platforms

This allows you to provide faster responses while keeping all your client conversations organized in one place.
