#Working Telegram Setup
1 messages Ā· Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Running this on a homelab with a reasonably complex network between services. No external access or open ports - using VPN only to the VPS.
Here's my Openclaw setup:
Bot: @your_bot
Channel config:
⢠enabled: true
⢠streamMode: partial (streams responses as they generate)
⢠Polling mode (long-polling via Bot API, no webhook)
Access control (tight):
⢠dmPolicy: allowlist - only allowlisted users can DM the bot
⢠groupPolicy: allowlist - only allowlisted users' messages are processed in groups
⢠allowFrom: ["<your_user_id>"] - only you (DMs)
⢠groupAllowFrom: ["<your_user_id>"] - only you (groups)
Groups:
⢠<group_id> - requireMention: false (responds to all your messages, no @mention needed)
BotFather settings needed:
⢠/setprivacy ā Disable (so bot sees all group messages without @mention)
⢠Bot must be added as admin or member of the group
I'm guessing from your post that you got the correct channelID for your group/channel.
Setprivacy solved it.
Any suggestions? I want that only me can communicate with him.
And I paired my telegram . Does this enough to be safe?
check with your bot that your Access controls are tight with dmPolicy: allowlist - only allowlisted users can DM the bot and groupPolicy: allowlist - only allowlisted users' messages are processed in groups
