#How do I sync context across telegram chat and desktop

@fair crater hi can u please help me out 🙏
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:
- Send
/statusas a standalone message in Telegram - Send
/statusas a standalone message in Discord
Then compare theagentIdandsessionKeylines. If they differ, paste both outputs here and I’ll tell you what to change.

i want the local host cahr and telegram dm from my phone to be the same
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:
- In Telegram DM, send
/status(as a standalone message) - In the localhost chat, send
/statustoo
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:
{
session: { dmScope: "main" }
}
Paste the two /status outputs here and I’ll tell you exactly which case you’re in.
