I take he's saying he'll contact the girl from before with LINE, but what is
しとくとして?

しておく+ として? How does it work?

Meaning of しとくとして in this sentence
I think it is something like this:

> しとくとして -> しておく + として -> しておく + とする (in て form)

So it means something like: I will make sure to put things in place (in LINE)
so that (I will contact the girl from before). Maybe by saving the contact in
a particular way or something. Dunno about LINE.

See [this one](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/34137/what-does-
verb%E3%81%A8%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B-mean) for the meaning of とする.

answer
しとくとして is short for しておくとして.

  * -ておく is a subsidiary verb that has several meanings. In this case, it adds a nuance "to do something and then leave it in the state" or "to do it for now (and think later)". It contracts to -とく (see [this chart](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/18159/5010)). 
    * [What is the true meaning of「ておく」?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/84773/5010)
  * -とする is "to decide to ～".

> とりあえずさっきの子にLINEしとくとして、…  
>  For now, I'll send a message (via LINE) to her, and ...

The implication is "I'll worry about this later".
