function doPost(e) {
var CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN = 'Here is hash key for Channel-Access-Token';
var msg = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);
console.log(msg);
return JSON.stringify({});
}
Testing the webhook script
- Add the Bot as a friend on your Line using QR code or searching the Line-ID of the Bot.
- Go to the site: https://script.google.com/ , 選擇 我的專案 , 選擇 LineBot , 在右邊的細項功能，選擇 Stackdriver 記錄 .

- If webhook script works fine you will see something on the Stackdriver 記錄 web.
NOTE: the logs will contain the info of the userid/groupid that the message is sent from
Sending a test message using API
To send a message to specified user or group using API the userid or groupid of the recipients are required for the API.
NOTE: the userid/groupid is different from Line ID/Group name.
How to get the userid of the specified username:
- Add the bot as a friend on the specified username
- The user sends a test message to the Bot
- The webhook script that we created will got some info that contains the userid or groupid.
Sending message using shell:
curl -v -X POST https://api.line.me/v2/bot/message/push \
-H 'Content-Type:application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
-d '{
"to": "USERID_OF_RECIPIENT",
"messages":[
{
"type":"text",
"text":"From Bot : 測試"
}
]
}'
