​
Wrench icon At a glance

  • Useful for alerts, simple messaging workflows, and bot-based communication.
  • Telegram setups usually fail because the bot is not in the right chat or does not have the needed permissions.
  • If you expect group actions, confirm the bot was actually added there.

​
Example prompts

  • “Send a Telegram update with today’s sales summary”
  • “Draft a Telegram message for our user group”
  • “Post this alert to my Telegram channel”
  • “Help me turn this changelog into a short Telegram update”

​
If it does not work

  • Start a new OpenClaw chat after installing the plugin
  • Make sure you approved the browser pairing flow
  • Make sure Telegram is connected in the ClawLink dashboard
  • Check that the connected bot is in the target chat/channel and has permission to post
