Messages aren't coming in.

Line has a limited number of free messages available for each Line plan you have.

If you have exhausted your free messages, your message may fail to send, or you may incur additional charges for sending additional messages.

Why can't I see the names of the customers who came through Line (they look random)?

This is because we haven't integrated their information. If they are already in our customer database, we can integrate their information (→ Learn more about integration).
