add-telegram

To connect a Telegram bot, you merge the channel branch, install the grammy dependency, register the bot token in environment variables, and verify chat IDs for interactive messaging. This enables direct agent control and notifications through Telegram.

Configuring a Telegram bot token requires storing the credential in .env and copying it into data/env/env so containers inherit the variable. This environment sync ensures the bot authenticates correctly when deployed within the containerized setup.

Yes, adding a Telegram channel requires running npm install, build, and tests to ensure the new channel code compiles and passes unit tests. This verification step happens after merging the skill branch and adding the grammy dependency.

You can register Telegram chats as either main or trigger-only chats via the setup script. After fetching chat IDs and running the registration, you test interactive messaging and check logs to verify the chat configuration works correctly.

If the Telegram bot fails to send messages after environment sync, check the logs for troubleshooting errors. Common issues include an invalid bot token, unregistered chat IDs, or incomplete environment variable inheritance in the data/env/env configuration.

The best way to extend agent channels with Telegram integration is to merge the dedicated skill branch, provision the bot token, sync environment variables, and register chats. This guided process ensures code compilation, environment configuration, and chat verification.
