Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues you might run into while setting up your LINE OA with BotBonnie.
I can't find the Messaging API Channel
If you cannot find the Messaging API channel under the provider on LINE Developers console, log into LINE Official Account Manager and go to Settings > Messaging API to check if a Messaging API channel is already created for the LINE OA.
If the Messaging API channel is enabled already but not visible on LINE Developers console, it's possible that you do not have access to it. Check with your team to request access to the Messaging API channel. To see how to grant channel access, refer to LINE's documentation.
If Messaging API is not enabled, click Enable Messaging API and select the provider of the LINE OA to enable. This creates a Messaging API channel for your LINE OA.
I can't find the LINE Login Channel
If you cannot find the LINE Login channel under the provider on LINE Developers console, click Create a new channel and select LINE Login to create a login channel.
Set App types to Web app and complete all other settings.
Click Create.
I can't click the Complete button on BotBonnie Console
If you have reached the final step on BotBonnie Console and the Complete button is grayed out, this means that some steps are not completed yet.
Make sure both parts are marked as 100% completed.
Each step should have a green checkmark next to it. If not, go back to that step, make sure the field is entered correctly and click Continue.
Your LINE OA is connected to another BotBonnie bot
If the LINE OA is connected to another bot, you can click Connect to connect it to the current bot.
Advanced kits and growth tools are not working properly
In order to use advanced kits or growth tools with the LINE OA, the LINE Login channel needs to be connected to the bot.
- Make sure the channel ID and channel secret of the LINE Login channel are entered correctly. To check the channel settings you entered, go to Integrations > Channel, click the menu icon next to the LINE OA, and select Edit.
- Make sure the LINE Login channel you connected is under the same provider as the Messaging API channel.
