Remarks

Verifying Webhook URL

• When you veriy a webhook url in the LINE Developers Console, it will fail because it sends events with invalid reply tokens. You can ignore the step. Webhook works well without verifying.

Replying Messages in DEV Phase

• In most cases of the dev phase, reply tokens will be invalid. So, replying requests will be redirected to the console output.
