FAQPage Schema
How do I debug an OpenClaw Telegram bot that stops responding to messages?

To debug an OpenClaw Telegram bot, you need to isolate channel transport issues from LLM authentication failures. Validating LLM provider auth profiles and running quick diagnostics on token prefixes help identify why the bot stops responding.

Why does my Telegram bot fail LLM authentication after deploying OpenClaw?

Telegram bot LLM authentication fails when the OpenClaw provider profile configuration is invalid. You must validate the LLM provider auth settings to ensure successful model responses and separate these issues from channel transport errors.

What is the best way to rotate a Telegram bot token for OpenClaw security hardening?

Rotating a Telegram bot token requires a step-by-step checklist to update security settings safely. This token rotation process ensures bot safety after deployment by systematically replacing the compromised or outdated authentication token.

Does OpenClaw support GitHub Copilot as an LLM provider for Telegram bots?

OpenClaw supports GitHub Copilot as an LLM provider but requires handling specific model switching and authentication caveats. You must configure the Copilot provider settings correctly to avoid auth issues during Telegram bot operation.

How do I configure a systemd user service to auto-start the OpenClaw gateway on a VPS?

Configuring a systemd user service auto-starts the OpenClaw gateway on VPS reboot. This systemd service setup ensures robust bot operation by automatically launching the gateway process without requiring manual intervention after system restarts.

Do I need Python and OpenClaw libraries to troubleshoot Telegram bot transport issues?

Yes, troubleshooting Telegram bot transport issues requires Python and relevant OpenClaw libraries installed. These dependencies provide the necessary environment to run diagnostics, isolate channel transport errors, and validate LLM authentication configurations.
