How to set up OpenClaw on Telegram
Setup method: token
- 01
Create a bot with BotFather
Message @BotFather on Telegram to create a new bot. You'll receive a bot token.
- 02
Paste the token
Enter your bot token in the OpenClaw dashboard. OpenClaw immediately starts listening for messages.
- 03
Configure bot settings
Set your bot's name, description, and profile photo in BotFather. Enable inline mode and group privacy as needed.
- 04
Add to chats
Start a private chat with your bot or add it to group chats. It responds to messages, commands, and button clicks.
Platform limitations

- Bot messages in groups require @mention or reply to trigger
- Inline keyboard buttons limited to 8 per row

Why managed hosting for Telegram
