Scan the QR code from your Line app on your phone and it will open the chat with a string already populated in the typing section.
Sending this string will open a 24-hour testing window between your and your channel. This gives you the freedom to test your flow without worrying about consuming messages from your plan.
The string will look like this; /start -uflow::main::draft::123
You will only be required to scan the QR code once in 24 hours. Within the 24 hour period, every time you click on Preview, it will directly trigger flow in the mobile app.
