#Telegram Set Up

First: can you paste openclaw --version? Version matters a lot here.
But yes — you can bypass that Connect page entirely and set Telegram up from the CLI.
# create a Telegram bot token first via @BotFather, then:
openclaw channels add --channel telegram --token '<bot-token>'
openclaw gateway restart
openclaw channels status --probe
Then DM your Telegram bot once, and approve pairing:
openclaw pairing list telegram
openclaw pairing approve telegram <CODE>
For multiple agents / bots:
openclaw agents add alerts --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace-alerts --non-interactive
openclaw channels add --channel telegram --account alerts --token '<bot-token>'
openclaw agents bind --agent alerts --bind telegram:alerts
openclaw gateway restart
Important: Telegram does not use openclaw channels login telegram; it’s token-based.
