How to register for the Messaging API to send LINE notifications
Due to the termination of LINE Notify service, we have started using the Messaging API. However, this Messaging API was originally designed for business-oriented, complex features, so using it for simple notification purposes is very cumbersome, and setup is also time-consuming. Please understand in advance that the ease of use has been significantly compromised compared with the previous LINE Notify.
Below are the registration steps for LINE Developer and LINE Official Account required to use LINE notification features.

【Note】As described on the page above, Messaging API is free to use up to 200 messages per month, but for usage beyond that, you need to subscribe to a paid plan.
As you use it on weekdays, it would be about 10 messages per day, so if you are only using for notifications, it may not hit the limit, but because information on message counting (e.g., character count for text, counting for images) is insufficient, please try it and consider a paid plan if you reach the limit.
