About Simple Q&A toggle

Simple Q&A uses LINE's AI technology to identify simple user queries and automatically send appropriate pre-registered responses.

There are two Simple Q&A message types: basic template messages and custom messages that you can create yourself.

For information about creating custom responses, see this Help article.

To use Simple Q&A, you need to set up AI response messages.

Users' questions are automatically sorted into one of the 19 categories below:

• Common questions

- Greeting, Instructions, Thanks, Unanswerable, Complaint

• General location questions

- Recommendation, Business hours, Reservation, Payment, Price range, Address, Closest station, Website, Phone number

• Detailed location questions

- Wi-Fi, Power outlets, Seats, Smoking, Parking

After a question is sorted, the appropriate pre-registered response will be sent for its category.

Questions related to basic information will be answered using the information registered on your profile.

If you've set keywords for an auto-response message and a user's message contains an exact keyword match, the auto-response message for that keyword will be sent preferentially.

Note:

- Make sure each piece of basic information you want to appear in template messages has been published on your profile.

- It may take several minutes for updated profile information to show up in messages.

In addition to the 19 basic categories listed above, you can also set a business category for your account so you can respond to common questions specific to your business type.

For more information about Simple Q&A business categories, see this Help article.
