SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enables NanoClaw to receive and send messages over Telegram so users can register Telegram chats, run agents in isolated containers, and interact with assistants from Telegram groups or private chats without modifying host systems directly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Adds a TelegramChannel implementation with message handling, media placeholders, typing indicators, and JID ownership for tg: prefixed IDs.
  • Integrates multi-channel routing so Telegram can replace or run alongside WhatsApp, supports trigger-based or passive registration, and provides commands like /chatid and /ping for setup and diagnostics.
  • Includes deterministic code changes, unit tests, manifest metadata, and instructions for environment syncing and recovery; useful for teams that want agent swarms visible as separate bots in group chats.

Quick Start

Run the add-telegram skill through the NanoClaw skills engine, provide or create a Telegram bot token when prompted, and follow the interactive setup to register chats and sync the environment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add Telegram chat automation to my agent workflows?

Telegram chat automation is enabled by integrating the Telegram Bot API into NanoClaw for agent-driven messaging. It registers group and private chats, receives text and media messages, and sends responses using the grammy dependency.

How do I set up a Telegram bot for agent-driven group chats?

Setting up a Telegram bot for agent-driven chats requires a Telegram bot token provided during the interactive setup. The Skill modifies source files, installs grammy, and syncs environment variables to the container environment.

Can I run a Telegram agent swarm alongside existing WhatsApp channels?

Telegram can run alongside WhatsApp through multi-channel routing. This integration supports trigger-based or passive registration, allowing agent swarms to appear as separate bots within the same group chats.

Does Telegram bot integration support typing indicators and media messages?

Telegram bot integration supports typing indicators and handles media messages with placeholders. It assigns JID ownership for tg: prefixed IDs and includes commands like /chatid and /ping for setup and diagnostics.

What are the limitations of using grammy for Telegram chat automation?

Using grammy for Telegram chat automation requires environment variables synchronized to the container environment and passing unit tests. Source file modifications are deterministic, making manual host system changes unnecessary but environment syncing mandatory.
