This document provides instructions for creating a LINE chatbot, including requirements and steps to create a LINE messaging account, add the bot as a friend, and send the first message to a user. The key steps are: 1. Create a LINE messaging bot account and enable the messaging API. 2. Get the bot's username and add it as a friend from the LINE app. 3. Use Postman to send a test push message to the user by calling the LINE messaging API with the bot's access token and user ID. 4. Download sample code to see how to implement these actions programmatically.
