5. To get these credentials, log in to your LINE developer account. You'll be redirected to the Providers screen. Click on the provider name you want to connect with Quickwork:
   
   
   
   Note: It is mandatory to have a provider and a channel of the type Messaging API created in it to get the credentials. If the channel created is not pf the type Messaging API, you won't get the credentials.

8. Return to the LINE Message API settings and scroll down to the extreme bottom. You'll have your Channel access token (long-lived). If the token field is empty, click the Issue button to get the token:

Setting webhook for trigger events

1. Once the connection gets established successfully, a trigger input field, Event Name, will pop up. Here, specify a random unique name to your trigger event. This name will act as an identifier for the trigger event and can be seen later in the response:
   
   
   
   
2. Once specified, a webhook URL will get generated. Copy this URL and go to the Messaging API settings window of your LINE channel. Scroll down the page and search for the Webhook settings section. Paste the copied webhook URL in the Webhook URL field and toggle ON the Use webhook option: 
   
   
   
   Note: Ensure you paste the webhook URL in the Messaging API settings window of a LINE channel that you have connected with Quickwork. If your mismatch this hierarchy, then setting a webhook URL is of no use and you won't get a notification for trigger events.
