REDDITDiscovered 2026-02-13Author nocap_361

Prerequisites

Telegram bot is already connected to OpenClaw gateway and added to target group/topics.
You can access BotFather settings and group admin permissions.

Steps

In BotFather, re-check Group Privacy mode and disable strict privacy if topic-level passive listening is required.
Verify bot rights in the specific topic-enabled group (read messages, reply in topics, no mute restrictions).
Send controlled test messages in two different topics: one with @mention and one without, then compare behavior.
If only @ works, keep mention-required rule in user guide as temporary workaround and track upstream routing enhancements.

Commands

openclaw gateway status

openclaw logs --local-time

openclaw gateway restart

Verify

Bot can respond in target topics under the intended trigger mode (with or without mention, per your policy).

Caveats

Group behavior differs across Telegram client versions and admin policy combinations（需验证）。
Never relax group privacy beyond what your team’s data policy allows.
