LINE

Your LINE Official Account, run like a real channel

Two-way chat, flex messages and a rich menu — integrated with WhatsApp, SMS and the rest of your channels, not run in isolation.

The opportunity

A broadcast-only LINE account leaves half the platform unused.

Most businesses use LINE for one thing — blasting followers. Flex messages, a rich menu, loyalty and two-way chat all sit on the same Official Account, mostly untouched. Run LINE as a real channel beside your SMS and AI, and it stops being just a broadcast list.

Most accounts actively use just one of these. The rest is capability you already have — sitting idle.
