OpenClaw Telegram Group Configuration Update | Generated by AI
Here’s the review of what was done:
✅ Changes Made — channels.telegram in /home/lzw/.openclaw/openclaw.json:
| Setting | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
groupPolicy |
"allowlist" |
"allowlist" (unchanged) |
groupAllowFrom |
(missing) | ["-4714712674"] ← the blog Telegram group |
What this means:
- The bot’s Telegram group policy is allowlist — only groups explicitly listed can interact with it
- The group chat ID
-4714712674(from yourtelegram_bot.pyin blog-source) has been added - Gateway restart was attempted but returned exit code 1 — the config warnings are non-fatal, though the restart may have failed
⚠️ Potential issue: The restart command exited with code 1. You may need to manually run:
openclaw gateway restart
What the blog push setup looks like:
- ✅ Group allowlist configured for
-4714712674 - ✅ Bot can now receive messages in the blog group
- 🔲 The actual push-on-update logic — your
telegram_bot.pyruns as a separate script via git hooks or CI. If you want OpenClaw to also push blog updates to that group (auto-triggered), we’d need a watcher cron or git hook — want me to set that up?
