Are you looking for a LINE CRM integration? This blog post is for you! In this first-hand guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about getting a CRM LINE integration. Next, we'll delve into using respond.io, an AI-powered customer conversation management software, for LINE marketing, sales and support.

## What is LINE CRM?

A LINE CRM is the integration between a LINE Messaging API and a CRM. Businesses aim to integrate popular messaging channels like LINE with their CRM for efficient communication management.

However, most CRMs do not have native LINE integration and have to rely on third-party integrations. This is because they were originally built with email as the main communication channel in mind.

Before investing in a LINE CRM integration, here are a few things you should know.

## Getting a LINE CRM: What You Should Know

Before integrating a LINE CRM, businesses must know how to use LINE for business and what integration options CRMs provide.

### LINE for Business

Businesses have two choices for using LINE: either the LINE Official Account Manager or the LINE Official Account Messaging API.

The LINE Official Account Manager is designed for businesses receiving low to mid volumes of messages. This option includes basic features such as marking chat statuses as Follow Up or Resolved, adding tags and comments, and sending auto replies and broadcasts.

This can be sufficient for many businesses; however, it lacks advanced automation to route and assign conversations automatically. Plus, it cannot be integrated with external software like a CRM or an omnichannel messaging inbox.

| **Line Official Account Manager** | **Line Official Account Messaging API** |                            |
| --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| **Best for**                      | Small to medium businesses              | Medium to large businesses |
| **Message Volume**                | Low to mid                              | Mid to high                |
| **Supports Integration**          | No                                      | Yes                        |

For CRM integration with LINE and advanced automation in managing conversations, the LINE Official Account Messaging API is necessary. However, it does not have an interface because it is just an API.

To send and receive LINE messages, you'll need to connect it to either an AI-powered customer conversation management software like respond.io or a CRM. Note that what you can do with the API depends heavily on the software you choose to connect it to. 

To choose the best integration, you need to know the types of LINE integration that CRMs support.

### Integrating LINE with a CRM

To provide information in this section, we’ve studied three prominent CRMs, namely Salesforce, HubSpot and Zendesk. Out of the three, only Zendesk provides native LINE integration, while the rest rely on third-party integrations.

However, Zendesk doesn’t fully support videos, voice messages and locations. For instance, agents cannot view videos and listen to voice messages in their inboxes. They have to download them to know what customers have sent.

This slows down agents as they have to switch between Zendesk and their downloads folder while managing multiple customers simultaneously.

![To provide information in this section, we’ve researched salesforce line integration, hubspot line integrationand,zendesk line integration. Out of the three, only Zendesk provides native LINE integration, while the rest rely on third-party integration. However, Zendesk doesn’t fully support videos, voice messages and locations. In addition, the native integration limits the LINE API integration to a single CRM. If you have multiple CRMs and want to integrate LINE with all of them, you won’t be able to do so.](https://assets2-proxy.respond.io/ph8r57dk1q9w/6wpqMTXAbfsexDs8qT5TYX/c419caa24edbd55b4b282b7f0f6a7b40/LINECRM_Image03_ccd690569dbfb17e95dbb83875bc098b.png?fm=jpg&q=80&w=640) 

Furthermore, agents might inadvertently open the wrong file, leading to extended case resolution times as they must either re-download the correct content or search for it in their downloads.

In addition, the native integration limits the LINE API to a single CRM. If you have multiple CRMs and aim to integrate LINE with all of them, you'll encounter limitations that prevent this.

Fortunately, most CRMs, even those with native LINE integration, allow third-party integrations. This enables you to use LINE with a business messaging inbox built specifically for messaging like respond.io. 

With respond.io, you can streamline business communication across instant messaging apps along with traditional channels like email and webchat. Plus, it lets you use LINE to its full potential and integrate multiple CRMs with it.

It supports LINE messaging features like sending rich media content, locations and more. Businesses can use advanced tools for tasks like sending broadcasts, automating conversations, routing contacts, and monitoring agent workloads.

Before diving deeper into respond.io’s features, we’ll show you how to integrate any CRM with respond.io to use LINE.

### Integrating LINE with a CRM on Respond.io

First, [create and set up your LINE Official Account](https://respond.io/blog/line-official-account#toc-mobile-7) and [connect it to respond.io](https://help.respond.io/l/en/channels/line#connecting%5Fa%5Fline%5Fofficial%5Faccount). Then, create a new [Workflow](https://help.respond.io/l/en/workflows/workflows-overview) automation and add the [HTTP Request Step](https://help.respond.io/l/en/workflows/workflow-steps#step%5Fhttp%5Frequest) to connect LINE on respond.io with any CRM. 

This will allow you to exchange information with your existing CRM while messaging customers on respond.io.

![How to use the HTTP Request Step in Workflows](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/M8qDmp-A8PU/hqdefault.webp) 

You can qualify sales leads, update contact profiles and create deals and tickets in external CRMs without the need to switch between your CRM and the respond.io inbox when responding to LINE messages.

## How to Use Respond.io for Marketing, Sales and Support

With all the necessary information at your disposal, here's how you can utilize respond.io for LINE marketing, sales and support.

### LINE Integration for Marketing

Similar to most messaging channels' anti-spam policies, LINE does not allow businesses to import contacts. Therefore, customers must start a conversation with a business to become Contacts.

To gain Contacts, Businesses can encourage inbound conversations with [LINE QR Codes](https://respond.io/blog/line-qr-code), [Click to Chat links](https://respond.io/blog/line-official-account#toc-mobile-11) and [LINE Widget](https://respond.io/blog/line-web-chat).

![Similar to most messaging channels, LINE does not allow businesses to import contacts to reduce spam. Therefore, customers must start a conversation with a business to become Contacts. To gain contacts, Businesses can encourage inbound conversations with LINE QR Codes, Click to Chat links and LINE Widget. You can segment contacts into different audiences to send targeted broadcast messages. Businesses can send broadcast messages at any time with different types of content like images, videos and more.](https://assets2-proxy.respond.io/ph8r57dk1q9w/4lZJ8nNYyetsM6pC80Aexk/ab4dc7d272ab4d1ee2b963eac281daf5/LINECRM_Image05_5d062598a72e5ec0ad157a3534835885.png?fm=jpg&q=80&w=640) 

Upon a lead initiating a conversation, gather their contact information to distinguish between new and existing contacts who may have messaged you on another channel.

 If they are an existing contact, consolidate their contact details and conversation history into a unified profile to provide a comprehensive view of the contact. You can also exchange and retrieve their contact information on your CRM.

If a lead is new, you will automatically capture their details and add them as a Contact. You can [segment](https://help.respond.io/l/en/contacts/segments) them into different audiences to send targeted [broadcast messages](https://respond.io/blog/line-broadcast). Businesses can send [broadcast messages at any time](https://respond.io/blog/line-official-account#toc-mobile-12) with different types of content like images, videos and more.

### LINE Integration for Sales

Integrating a sales CRM with respond.io enables you to exchange information between both platforms. Once connected, you can qualify leads and create deals in your sales CRM from respond.io [in one click](https://respond.io/blog/march-2022-release-new-shortcuts-feature-and-website-chat-logged-in-user-id#toc-mobile-0). 

This way, agents are saved from the trouble of switching back and forth between the respond.io inbox and a CRM, allowing them to carry out sales-related tasks while conversing with a customer.

Businesses can also automate sales tasks like [lead qualifying,](https://respond.io/blog/question-bot) [routing leads to the right team](https://help.respond.io/l/en/sales-use-case/routing-leads) and [auto-assigning them](https://help.respond.io/l/en/sales-use-case/auto-assign-leads-to-sales-agents) to the right agent based on the funnel a lead falls into. They can even have an [AI Agent](https://help.respond.io/l/en/workflows/step-respond-with-ai) to serve as the initial responder to handle routine lead inquiries.

The highly customizable nature of respond.io Workflows enables managers to implement their own [routing logic](https://respond.io/blog/chat-routing-contact-routing-workflows-module-respondio#toc-mobile-3). This includes routing leads by priority access, region, deal size and more.

As agents will have to communicate with customers from different backgrounds, they can use [AI Prompts](https://help.respond.io/l/en/messages/interacting-with-respond-ai) to refine messages for clarity, translate them to overcome language barriers and more so their message is communicated effectively. You can also use this feature for LINE customer support.

Plus, they can ensure equal lead distribution among the sales team and assign existing customers to their dedicated salesperson automatically.

### LINE Integration for Support

Respond.io’s Workflow automation saves agents from performing repetitive tasks like answering FAQs, asking the same questions to get the context of customers’ issues and more. 

Businesses can automate [FAQs](https://respond.io/blog/inbound-conversations), send [multiple-choice questions](https://respond.io/blog/question-bot) to help customers communicate what they want clearly and then [route](https://help.respond.io/l/en/support-use-case/route-customers) and [assign](https://help.respond.io/l/en/support-use-case/auto-assign-customers) customers according to their needs. Similar to the AI Agent’s capabilities mentioned in the sales use case above, businesses can use AI to handle routine inquiries and escalate complex or sensitive issues to human agents.

This way, agents can direct their time and resources to critical issues to provide quality support. To ease agents' workload further, tools like [AI Assist](https://help.respond.io/l/en/messages/using-ai-assist) provide agents with quick access to relevant information from knowledge bases or existing resources.

This allows them to respond quickly and accurately to customer inquiries, enhancing response times and contributing to a more satisfying customer experience.

This way, agents can utilize their time and resources on critical issues to provide quality support. If an agent cannot solve an issue, they can request their manager’s help by describing the case or providing background information through internal comments. Agents can also escalate the case to external CRM platforms while chatting with customers, with a click of a button.](https://assets2-proxy.respond.io/ph8r57dk1q9w/28dvKDiqgaa1uADfzUNGI/9cbe6acd253bc85d4b0a0cb6b0884163/LINECRM_Image07_9500b0b90eaa327f30c8ffbecad8ad14.png?fm=jpg&q=80&w=640) 

If an agent cannot solve an issue, they can request their manager’s help by describing the case or providing background information through [internal comments](https://help.respond.io/l/en/contacts/contact-activity#comments). Agents can also [escalate the case](https://respond.io/blog/escalation-management) to external CRM platforms with the click of a button while chatting with customers.

After a conversation ends, businesses can send a [customer satisfaction (CSAT) survey](https://respond.io/blog/csat-customer-satisfaction-score#toc-mobile-8) to measure the success and quality of their customer support. They can also track individual or team performance via the advanced [Reports and Analytics Module](https://help.respond.io/l/en/support-use-case/reporting-for-support).
