This is an update about the Line channel.

Thanks to the suggestion from Winho!!

Before the update, we were using "push" to send all the message. Winho mentioned that this can cost their "push message" quota and suggested we can send message by using the replyToken, which means that, using "reply" instead of "push". This can save a lot consumption of "push message" to their Line account.

Now the system will use the replyToken to send the first message. For example, a user sends "hi". If you have 2 messages to respond to this greeting. The first one will be sent using "reply" and the second one (all the rest) using "push".

This can somehow save your "push" messages amount in your Line account.

Click on 4 in the above screenshot to get the "Template Ns", the id of this template for API usage.
Click on 5 in the above screenshot to generate a one-time link for this template:

Edit expiration duration and click "Generate New Link". This link will be added to the list and the status will be "Available" in the beginning. When the link is used and the template is installed, the status changes to "Installed". If the template is not installed within the duration, the status goes to "Expired".

Visit template API through https://www.uchat.com.au/api#/Template
