Deploy OpenClaw to Telegram
Connect Telegram with a bot token, then deploy your OpenClaw assistant. No servers, no terminal commands, and no model API keys to get started.
1. Create a Telegram bot token
- Open Telegram and start a chat with @BotFather.
- Send
/newbotand follow the prompts to name your bot and choose a username. - Copy the bot token that BotFather sends you (a long string of numbers and letters).
2. Connect the token in QuickClaw
- Go to the homepage deploy section: QuickClaw Deploy.
- Select Telegram.
- Paste the bot token and save.
3. Deploy and test
- Choose a model (Claude, GPT, or Gemini).
- Click Deploy.
- Open Telegram and send a message to your bot to confirm it responds.
Tips
- If the bot does not respond, re-check the token and try redeploying.
- If deployment fails, switch models and retry. Some regions/providers may substitute models.
