# LINE MINI App API reference

# Service Messages

The Service Message API enables you to send service messages from your service to your LINE MINI App users.

Sending service messages requires a service notification token and a template.

Issue a service notification token
Send a service message

# Issuing a service notification token

Issues a service notification token. Service notification tokens are used to send a service message to the associated user.

Service notification tokens have the following features:

A service notification token expires 1 year after being issued. While it is still valid, up to 5 service messages can be sent.
Every time you use the service notification token, the token value is renewed unless it expired or no longer has remaining message counts. If you are planning to send successive service messages to a user, keep the renewed service notification token.

Note

Each service notification token is associated with one user. You cannot use a service notification token associated with one user to send a service message to other users.
