How to Integrate HubSpot With LINE?

You can use the ‘webhook’ action to make HubSpot send contact information to a specified URL. The contact is usually formatted in JSON. This mechanism can be used to connect with your customers that are currently using LINE.

But, communication through the LINE integration isn’t one-way. You can also send information from LINE to HubSpot. This can be achieved by using various APIs developed to make this integration possible.

You can receive the message on HubSpot as the webhook action can also get triggered to make a request to the specific URL. The program set to receive the user’s reply triggers the Webhook and the message is received. Thus the HubSpot and LINE integration works perfectly.

To make the integration possible, you will first need a subcription to the LINE integration and additionally the subscription to HubSpot itself. The cost of the LINE integration depends on the amount of users you have. The lowest plan allows for 10,000 LINE contacts and is available at $100 US per month already.
