- Manage and configure Telegram bots for OpenClaw. Use when setting up Telegram integrations, troubleshooting bot connectivity, configuring bot tokens, or managing Telegram channel/webhook settings. Handles bot registration, token validation, and network connectivity checks for api.telegram.org.
Telegram Bot Manager
Quick Start
Setup a new Telegram bot
-
Create bot via BotFather
- Message @BotFather on Telegram
- Use
/newbotcommand - Follow prompts for bot name and username
- Copy the bot token (format:
1234567890:ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrsTUVwxyz)
-
Configure in OpenClaw
- Add token to OpenClaw config
- Enable Telegram plugin
- Set up pairing mode for DM access
Validate bot configuration
# Test Telegram API connectivity
curl -I https://api.telegram.org
# Check bot token validity
curl -s "https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_TOKEN>/getMe"
Common Workflows
Troubleshooting connectivity issues
When api.telegram.org is unreachable:
-
Check network access
curl -I -m 10 https://api.telegram.org -
Verify DNS resolution
nslookup api.telegram.org -
Test alternative endpoints
curl -I https://telegram.org
Configuring OpenClaw Telegram integration
See OPENCLAW_CONFIG.md for detailed configuration steps.
Bot token security
- Never commit bot tokens to version control
- Store tokens in environment variables or secure config files
- Rotate tokens if compromised
- Use different tokens for different environments (dev/prod)
Bot Commands Reference
Common Telegram bot commands for BotFather:
/newbot- Create a new bot/mybots- Manage your bots/setdescription- Set bot description/setabouttext- Set about text/setuserpic- Set bot profile picture/setcommands- Set bot commands/token- Generate new token/revoke- Revoke current token/setprivacy- Configure privacy mode
Webhook vs Polling
Webhook (Recommended for production)
- Bot receives updates via HTTP POST
- Requires public HTTPS endpoint
- More efficient for high-volume bots
Polling (Good for development)
- Bot continuously checks for updates
- Simpler setup, no public endpoint needed
- Easier to debug locally
See WEBHOOK_SETUP.md for webhook configuration.
Error Handling
Common errors and solutions
"Connection timed out"
- Check firewall rules
- Verify proxy configuration
- Test with different network
"Invalid token"
- Verify token format (should contain colon)
- Check for extra spaces or characters
- Regenerate token if needed
"Bot not responding"
- Verify bot is not blocked
- Check bot privacy settings
- Ensure bot has proper permissions
Testing Your Bot
Manual testing
- Search for your bot username on Telegram
- Start a conversation with
/start - Test basic commands
Automated testing
Use the test script in scripts/test_bot.py for automated validation.
