What are the two places you’re chatting from exactly — Telegram DM + Discord DM, or Telegram DM + a Discord server channel/thread?

In OpenClaw, “syncing context” basically means: both messages land in the same sessionKey on the same Gateway.

  • DMs (1:1 chats): by default, all DMs collapse into the agent’s main session (session.dmScope: "main"), so Telegram DM + Discord DM should share context automatically.
  • Discord server channels/threads (and Telegram groups/topics): those are separate sessions by design, so they won’t share context with your DM unless you explicitly “bridge” it.

Fast way to confirm what’s happening:

  1. Send /status as a standalone message in Telegram
  2. Send /status as a standalone message in Discord
    Then compare the agentId and sessionKey lines. If they differ, paste both outputs here and I’ll tell you what to change.

Yep — Telegram DM + the “localhost chat” (WebChat / Control UI chat tab / macOS app chat) can share the same conversation context, as long as they hit the same Gateway + same agent + same session key.

Do this quick check:

  1. In Telegram DM, send /status (as a standalone message)
  2. In the localhost chat, send /status too

They should both show the same:

  • agentId
  • sessionKey (usually agent:<agentId>:main)

If they don’t match, the usual causes are:

  • You’re connected to two different Gateways (one local, one remote). Fix: point the desktop WebChat/Control UI at the same Gateway that’s running your Telegram bot.
  • Your config is isolating DMs per channel (e.g. session.dmScope: "per-channel-peer"), which intentionally splits Telegram vs WebChat. For a single-user setup, set it back to:
