Require the message to be exactly the 4 digits (optionally prefixed by @botname). Loose matches like "my pin is 0349" are rejected to avoid false positives from chat traffic that happens to contain a 4-digit number. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add Telegram Channel
Adds Telegram bot support to NanoClaw v2 using the Chat SDK bridge.
Pre-flight
Check if src/channels/telegram.ts exists and the import is uncommented in src/channels/index.ts. If both are in place, skip to Credentials.
Install
Install the adapter package
npm install @chat-adapter/telegram
Enable the channel
Uncomment the Telegram import in src/channels/index.ts:
import './telegram.js';
Build
npm run build
Credentials
Create Telegram Bot
- Open Telegram and search for
@BotFather - Send
/newbotand follow the prompts:- Bot name: Something friendly (e.g., "NanoClaw Assistant")
- Bot username: Must end with "bot" (e.g., "nanoclaw_bot")
- Copy the bot token (looks like
123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11)
Important for group chats: By default, Telegram bots only see @mentions and commands in groups. To let the bot see all messages:
- Open
@BotFather>/mybots> select your bot - Bot Settings > Group Privacy > Turn off
Configure environment
Add to .env:
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=your-bot-token
Sync to container: mkdir -p data/env && cp .env data/env/env
Next Steps
If you're in the middle of /setup, return to the setup flow now.
Otherwise, run /manage-channels to wire this channel to an agent group.
Channel Info
- type:
telegram - terminology: Telegram calls them "groups" and "chats." A "group" has multiple members; a "chat" is a 1:1 conversation with the bot.
- how-to-find-id: Do NOT ask the user for a chat ID. Telegram registration uses pairing — run
npx tsx setup/index.ts --step pair-telegram -- --intent <main|wire-to:folder|new-agent:folder>, show the user the 4-digitCODEfrom thePAIR_TELEGRAM_ISSUEDblock, and tell them to send just the 4 digits as a message from the chat they want to register (DM the bot formain, post in the group otherwise). In groups with Group Privacy ON, prefix with the bot handle:@<botname> CODE. The step waits up to 5 minutes and emits aPAIR_TELEGRAMblock withPLATFORM_ID,IS_GROUP, andADMIN_USER_IDonce the user echoes the code. The service must be running for this to work (the polling adapter is what observes the code). - supports-threads: no
- typical-use: Interactive chat — direct messages or small groups
- default-isolation: Same agent group if you're the only participant across multiple chats. Separate agent group if different people are in different groups.
