LINE Notify has closed: what to use now

LINE Notify was the easy way to get a message in LINE when something happened: a new order, a server error, a form submission. One token, one HTTP call, free. LINE closed it, and many scripts and small systems in Thailand went quiet. If you are searching “line notify ยกเลิก”, this is what happened and what to use instead.

When LINE Notify closed

According to LINE’s closing notice, LINE Notify was discontinued on 31 March 2025. The notice recommends the Messaging API, through which you send messages from a LINE Official Account, with a set number of free messages each month.

So the alerts don’t come from “LINE Notify” any more. They come from your own LINE Official Account, which also means your brand name and picture are on them.

What to use now: Messaging API push messages

The replacement has the same idea with three more steps:

1. Create a LINE Official Account and enable the Messaging API for it in the LINE Developers Console.
2. Issue a channel access token (Messaging API tab). It replaces your old Notify token; keep it secret on the server.
3. Choose who receives the alerts:
   • A person: they add the OA as a friend; your webhook receives their user ID in the follow event.
   • A group: allow the OA to join group chats, invite it to the group; your webhook receives the group ID in the join event.

Then your system sends a push message to that ID. We cover webhooks, signatures and message types in detail in our LINE Messaging API guide.

What it costs (Thailand, as of October 2026)

LINE Notify was free. Push messages count toward your LINE Official Account plan. From LINE for Business Thailand and LINE’s pricing rules, checked 29 October 2026:

• Free plan: 300 messages a month, no extra messages.
• Basic: ฿1,280 a month for 15,000 messages, extra ฿0.10 each. Pro: ฿1,780 for 35,000, extra ฿0.06 each. Prices exclude 7% VAT.
• A message counts once per recipient. An alert to a group of five uses five messages. On the Free plan that is about 60 alerts a month to that group; when the quota runs out, sends fail until next month.

For a handful of alerts a day to one or two people, the Free plan is usually enough. A busy group chat will need Basic, or fewer and better-grouped alerts (one summary every hour instead of one message per order).

A small example

With the official @line/bot-sdk version 11 (Node.js 22 or later). First, find the group ID: put this webhook online, set its URL in the Developers Console and invite the OA to the group.

// webhook.mjs: logs the group ID when the OA is invited to a group
import express from 'express';
import { middleware } from '@line/bot-sdk';

const app = express();

app.post('/webhook', middleware({ channelSecret: process.env.LINE_CHANNEL_SECRET }), (req, res) => {
  for (const event of req.body.events) {
    if (event.type === 'join' && event.source.type === 'group') {
      console.log('Group ID:', event.source.groupId);
    }
  }
  res.sendStatus(200);
});

app.listen(3000);

Then, wherever you used to call LINE Notify:

// notify.mjs
import { randomUUID } from 'node:crypto';
import { LineBotClient } from '@line/bot-sdk';

const client = LineBotClient.fromChannelAccessToken({
  channelAccessToken: process.env.LINE_CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN,
});

// retryKey: pass the same value when you retry the same alert, so LINE sends it only once.
export async function notify(text, retryKey = randomUUID()) {
  await client.pushMessage(
    { to: process.env.LINE_GROUP_ID, messages: [{ type: 'text', text }] },
    retryKey,
  );
}

// Elsewhere in your system:
// await notify('New order #1042: 2 items, ฿890');

The to field takes a user ID or a group ID. Alerts can also be Flex Messages with a button that opens the order in your back office.

Shop alerts with no code

If the alerts you need are about bookings, customers and payments for a small shop or clinic, you may not need any code. Tellfox is a ready-made booking and CRM tool on LINE that sends these messages for you.

For alerts from your own systems, such as an ERP, a website or a warehouse script, the Messaging API route above is the way, and connecting it to customer data has its own rules: read connecting LINE to your CRM.
