How to link kintone with LINE and notify LINE when a record is added to kintone

a.ohta

According to NTT Docomo Mobile Society Research Institute, approximately 83.7% of Japanese people use LINE. Indeed, there are fewer people who don't use it, and even my grandmother in her 80s is proficient with LINE.

There must be quite a few companies that have integrated LINE, which is so closely tied to daily life, into their business operations.

Above all, being able to communicate in real-time quickly on a smartphone is incredibly convenient! The operation itself is quite simple, and because there are no unnecessary options, it's easy to check messages.

So, what kind of synergy can be created if we could integrate LINE, which is indispensable in daily life, with kintone? Let's create a flow bot with Yoom and revolutionize tasks that prioritize speed!

Benefits of Integrating kintone and LINE

There are three main benefits of integrating LINE with kintone.

1. LINE is a lifestyle-oriented tool that allows real-time information capture, making it easy to view anytime, anywhere, and ensuring you don't miss any changes or important information on kintone!

2. You can quickly check the progress of tasks or projects on kintone, and share it with the entire team through LINE groups, improving work efficiency!

3. Utilizing the casual nature of LINE, communication within the team becomes smoother!

kintone allows you to intuitively create the apps you envision, without needing any prior knowledge.

Moreover, in terms of ease of use, LINE is not inferior.

The biggest advantage is being able to quickly check changes to the apps you created intuitively, even on the go with your smartphone.

Additionally, if you create a group on LINE, you can understand what percentage of the team has checked the information based on the read count. The compatibility between tasks that require quick responses and LINE is excellent.

Automation Expected from Integrating kintone and LINE

Next, let's introduce the content that can be automated by integrating LINE with kintone.

This can also be broadly categorized into three main points.

1. You can check changes on kintone in real-time, so you don't have to check the kintone app each time!

2. By automatically reminding you of additions or changes to kintone data and important events, you can prevent task omissions!

3. By registering inquiries or requests in kintone, you can keep logs and the entire team can immediately check them through automatic notifications!

kintone is a tool that can handle various tasks, so even if the needs differ for each task, it can cover them to a certain extent with just kintone!

By leveraging the strength of being able to create the apps you envision and integrating it with LINE, you can respond quickly to any task. The possibilities are truly endless!

And having automatic notifications is really convenient. If you don't need to check things proactively, you can focus on other tasks.

Above all, you are freed from the hassle of opening multiple tabs and cluttering your PC screen...!

Try Integrating kintone and LINE Using Yoom

This time, let's try integrating LINE and kintone using the domestic no-code tool Yoom.

Since no coding is required, you can start immediately without any prior programming knowledge.

Register for Yoom here. You can easily register in 30 seconds!

Official documentation about Yoom is here. Please take a look!

Notify LINE Account When a Record is Added to kintone

Now, let's introduce how to integrate kintone and LINE.

We provide an easy-to-understand explanation with images, so please refer to it!

This time, we will use the template "Notify LINE when a record is added to kintone."

Yoom offers many such templates, so you can quickly create the desired flow bot!

【Integration of My App with kintone and LINE】

First, integrate kintone and LINE with Yoom's system.

You only need to integrate once, so there's no need to do it repeatedly. Rest assured!

Also, there may be help pages available for each app's integration, so be sure to check them.

Press "Use this template" at the bottom of the above template screen.

Then, you should be on a page called "My Project".

Select "My App" from the menu on the left side of the screen

     ↓

Click on "Create New" at the top right

     ↓

Let's start by registering with LINE.

Enter "LINE" in the search box, and when the LINE icon appears, click on it.

__wf_reserved_inherit

You will transition to the above screen, so register using any method within the red frame.

By the way, using the QR code is much faster, so it's recommended to integrate using the QR code!

__wf_reserved_inherit

Proceeding further will transition you to a screen like the one above.

The red circle part is the talk room icon, and the red frame part is the selected talk room.

A list of talk rooms registered in LINE will be displayed, so select any room and click "Agree and Integrate"!

Then, you will receive a message on LINE saying "Integration with [Yoom] is complete."

With this, the integration of My App with LINE is complete!

Next is the integration of My App with kintone, but from here on, there is a help page available, so please take a look.

Once the integration of My App is complete, the next step is to create the content of the flow bot.

無事にLINEが届いたら設定完了!お疲れ様でした!

Summary

LINE, which can be easily checked anytime and anywhere, is very convenient not only for personal life but also for business. It is especially well-suited for tasks that require quick responses.

On the other hand, kintone allows you to easily create the apps you need without programming knowledge, just like Yoom's services. Intuitive operation is possible with drag and drop.

What can be said about both apps is that "no specialized knowledge is required." If you can quickly link the app you envision with the LINE you are accustomed to using, you can achieve time-saving and automation in your work right away!

In addition to the flowbot introduced this time, Yoom offers many templates, so if there's something you're interested in, be sure to check it out!

a.ohta
After working as a general store manager, I started working from home as an SEO writer. Later, an outsourcing agreement was signed with a marketing startup for about 5 years. Surrounded by students at the University of Tokyo, I held a computer and spent my days studying various business terms and how to use SaaS tools. When I was a general store manager, time was taken over and over again by office work such as sales and inventory management, human resource management, and ordering, etc., and I was unable to serve customers and often missed sales times. Even when outsourcing, there are many detailed tasks such as input, etc., and “can't such monotonous tasks be automated?” I thought so, and I really sympathize with Yoom's vision!
