Automated LINE & Google Account Linking with OAuth2 Authentication Solution

Workflow overview

Why this workflow matters

Potentially useful as a reusable automation building block.

LINE x Google Account Linking Workflow This workflow automates the process of linking a new user on your LINE Official Account to their Google Account. When a user adds your LINE account as a friend, this workflow automatically sends them a message with a unique authentication link. After the user approves the connection, their Google profile information is fetched, and a confirmation message is sent, completing the loop. Prerequisites Before you begin, ensure you have the following: An AlekSystem instance:** Either on AlekSystem.cloud or a self-hosted environment. A LINE Developers Account:** A Messaging API channel. Your Channel Access Token (long-lived). A Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Account:** A configured OAuth consent screen. An OAuth 2.0 Client ID and Client Secret. Setup Instructions Follow these steps to configure the workflow. Step 1: Configure LINE Developers Console Log in to the LINE Developers Console. Navigate to your provider and select your Messaging API channel. Go to the Messaging API tab. Issue a Channel access token (long-lived) and copy the value. In the Webhook URL field, paste the Test URL from the LINE Webhook node in your AlekSystem workflow. Enable Use webhook. Step 2: Configure Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Log in to the Google Cloud Console and select your project. Navigate to APIs & Services > OAuth consent screen. Configure it if you haven't already, ensuring you add your own Google account as a test user. Go to APIs & Services > Credentials. Click + CREATE CREDENTIALS and select OAuth 2.0 Client ID. For Application type, choose Web application. Under Authorized redirect URIs, click + ADD URI and paste the Test URL from the Google Auth Callback node in your AlekSystem workflow. Click Create. Copy your Client ID and Client Secret. Step 3: Configure the AlekSystem Workflow Import the workflow JSON into your AlekSystem canvas and follow these steps to set it up. 1. Configure AlekSystem Credentials First, set up the credentials that the HTTP Request nodes will use. For the LINE Messaging API:** In AlekSystem, go to Credentials > Add credential. Search for and select Header Auth. Set Name to Authorization. Set Value to Bearer YOUR_LINE_CHANNEL_ACCESS_TOKEN (replace with the token from Step 1). Save the credential with a memorable name like "LINE Messaging API Auth". For the Google API (Dynamic Token):** Create another Header Auth credential. Set Name to Authorization. For Value, enter a placeholder like Bearer dummy_token. This will be replaced dynamically by the workflow. Save the credential with a name like "Google API Dynamic Token". 2. Update Node Parameters Now, update the parameters in the following nodes: Create Google Auth URL node:** In the value field, replace YOUR_AlekSystem_WEBHOOK_URL_FOR_GOOGLE with the webhook URL of the Google Auth Callback node. Replace YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID with the Client ID from GCP (Step 2). Get Google Access Token node:** In the jsonBody field, replace YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, and YOUR_AlekSystem_WEBHOOK_URL_FOR_GOOGLE with your actual GCP credentials and callback URL. Get Google User Info node:** For Authentication, select Header Auth. For Credential for Header Auth, choose the "Google API Dynamic Token" credential you created. Important: Click Add Option > Header To Append. Set the Name to Authorization and the Value to the following expression to use the token from the previous step: Bearer {{ $node["Get Google Access Token"].json["access_token"] }}. Send Auth Link to LINE & Send Completion Message to LINE nodes:** For Credential for Header Auth, choose the "LINE Messaging API Auth" credential. Redirect to LINE OA node:** In the redirectURL parameter, replace YOUR_LINE_OFFICIAL_ACCOUNT_ID with your LINE OA's ID (e.g., @123abcde). Step 4: Activate and Test Save the workflow by clicking the Save button. Activate the workflow using the toggle in the top-right corner. On your phone, add your LINE Official Account as a friend. You should receive a message with a link. Follow the link to authorize with your Google account. After successful authorization, you should receive a completion message in LINE and be redirected. > Note: When you are ready for production, remember to replace the "Test" webhook URLs in the LINE and GCP consoles with the "Production" URLs from the AlekSystem webhook nodes.
