# Connect Dify to LINE

Source: https://langbot.app/docs/en/recipes/dify/line

Step-by-step guide to running your Dify app as a LINE bot with LangBot: Dify setup, bot credentials, networking, testing and troubleshooting.

This recipe puts your Dify app behind a LINE bot. LangBot receives messages from LINE, runs them through a pipeline, and sends the answer back, so you do not write any platform code.

Dify builds chat assistants, Chatflows, Agents and Workflows. LangBot calls the published app through its Service API, so prompts, tools and knowledge stay in Dify.

## What you need

- A running LangBot instance: [LangBot Cloud](https://space.langbot.app/cloud) (no server needed) or a [self-hosted deployment](https://langbot.app/docs/en/deploy/langbot/docker.md) with Docker or `uvx langbot`.
- A Dify account or instance that LangBot can reach over the network.
- A Messaging API channel in the [LINE Developers Console](https://developers.line.biz/): **Channel Secret** and **Channel Access Token** (click **Issue**).

## Networking

LINE calls a webhook, so LangBot needs a public HTTPS URL. LangBot Cloud includes a domain and HTTPS.

## 1. Prepare Dify

1. Build and **publish** a Chat Assistant (including Chatflow), Agent or Workflow app in Dify.
2. Open the app's **Access API** page and create an API key.
3. For a Workflow app, output the answer under the key `summary`.

## 2. Create a pipeline

Open **Pipelines** in the LangBot WebUI, create a pipeline (or edit the default one) and set **AI** as follows. If the runner is not listed, install the official runner plugin from **Plugins** or the [LangBot Space marketplace](https://space.langbot.app/market).

| Field    | Value                                                                                 |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Runner   | **Dify** (official Dify Agent runner plugin)                                          |
| Base URL | `https://api.dify.ai/v1` for Dify Cloud, or your own Dify address with `/v1` appended |
| API Key  | The key from the app's Access API page                                                |

## 3. Create the LINE bot

1. Create a bot with the **LINE** adapter and enter the Channel Secret and Channel Access Token.
2. Copy the webhook callback URL from LangBot into the channel's **Webhook URL**, verify it, and turn on **Use webhook**.

## 4. Bind and test

Open the bot, select the pipeline you created, save and make sure the bot is enabled.

Add the official account as a friend with its QR code and send a message.

## Troubleshooting

- Self-hosted Dify in Docker on the same host: put both stacks on a shared Docker network and use the container address (for example `http://dify-nginx/v1`), not `localhost`.
- Chatflow apps only return what the Answer node outputs.
- Webhook verification fails: check the URL and that HTTPS works from the public internet.
- No replies: turn off LINE's auto-reply messages in the Official Account Manager so they do not answer instead of the bot.
- Check **Monitoring** in the WebUI: every message, pipeline run and error is recorded there.

## FAQ

### Do I need a server with a public IP for LINE?

Yes, or use LangBot Cloud. LINE calls a webhook, so LangBot needs a public HTTPS URL. LangBot Cloud includes a domain and HTTPS.

### Does the LINE bot support streaming replies?

Check the [platform feature matrix](https://langbot.app/docs/en/insight/platform-features.md) for what this platform supports. Replies are delivered once the AI back end has finished.

### Can the same Dify setup serve other platforms too?

Yes. A pipeline can be bound to many bots, so one configuration can answer on several platforms at once.
