Message is not sent to Telegram group

[hearty quail]

After upgrade to the latest version (v2026.4.29), OpenClaw is not able to send meesage to Telegram group anymore. There is no issue with direct message. I can see the group message is generated on the dashboard web UI.

Hi @hearty quail I have the same issues and I managed to get the solution. Have you solve it?

Revert back to version 2026.4.23 fixed this issue for me.

My version 2026.4.27

In openclaw.json:

"visibleReplies": "automatic"
Full context (where it sits in the config):

"messages": {
"groupChat": {
"visibleReplies": "automatic"
}
}

I also had to revert to 2026.4.23 to make it work again 🙁

Just filed this bug: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/77908

Looks like specialist/non-main agents can receive messages fine, and their replies show up in OpenClaw Control UI, but those replies don’t always get relayed back to the original Telegram topic / Discord channel.

Reproduced on both Telegram topics and Discord channels, including after updating to 2026.5.4.

So this seems more like an outbound relay bug than a routing/binding problem.

I got it working on the latest version (2026.5.7) by folloing this workaround: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/74876
