For other message types (photos, files, voice), the customer gets a prompt to type their question. Stickers are ignored. While you are active in a conversation, the customer gets no prompt, and photos, files, voice messages and stickers do not appear in your inbox. Only text messages reach you.

- Messages are cut at 5,000 characters.
- Group chats are ignored: Only 1:1 chats get replies.
- AI replies use free reply messages.
- Agent replies use push messages: Replies you send from the inbox are LINE push messages. They count toward the monthly message quota of your LINE plan. When the quota is used up, LINE rejects the send and the inbox shows the error.
