What is LINE Business?
LINE Business is a messaging platform that allows businesses to communicate with customers directly through the LINE app. Businesses can use LINE Business to provide customer support, send promotional messages, and automate conversations.
Starting a conversation
To start a conversation, your customer must send a message first by adding your LINE Business account as a friend.
Customers can find and add your LINE Business account in two ways:
- QR code: Generate and share a scannable QR code to let customers add your account easily.
- Link: Share a direct link to your LINE Business account for customers to click and connect.
Both the QR code and link can be created in LINE Business Manager.
