Non-compliance may result in being blocked from using a communication channel or being suspended permanently.
Currently, Infobip offers LINE services in Taiwan and Thailand.
LINE Official Notification (One-way)
LINE Official Notification is available over API only in Thailand.
LINE Official Notification (LON) is one of the many features of the LINE Official Account that is offered exclusively to a limited number of LINE partners, including Infobip. LON is intended for sending notifications and transactional messages. LON does not allow marketing messages.
If you want to send notifications over LON, your customers do not need to opt in, that is, they do not need to subscribe to your LINE Official Account. However, LINE will ask customers to verify their identity and confirm that they agree to receiving notification messages from you without opting in.
When customers receive your notification message for the first time, the process flow for the customer is as follows:
-
The customer receives the following messages:
- Push notification message
- LINE Official Account message
-
The verification process starts.
-
If the verification is successful, the customer receives a confirmation.
-
The customer receives your notification message.
Message templates
To send notification messages, you must register your message templates and obtain approval from LINE Corporation. Your Infobip account manager will assist you in preparing for the review process.
- Avoid using promotional language because promotional, advertising, and marketing content is prohibited.
- Message templates must follow LINE guidelines.
