Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
How do I add Telegram as a messaging channel to ClaudeClaw?
add-telegram integrates Telegram into ClaudeClaw for bidirectional messaging. To add Telegram, you'll need your bot token from Telegram's BotFather and the chat IDs where you want to receive and send messages. Once you register these credentials in add-telegram, ClaudeClaw can communicate via Telegram alongside other channels.
What is required to configure the Telegram bot token and register chat IDs?
add-telegram requires two key setup steps: first, obtain your bot token from Telegram's BotFather service; second, register the chat IDs for each conversation where you want messaging enabled. These credentials allow add-telegram to authenticate with Telegram and route messages to your specified chats.
Can add-telegram set up Telegram for group chats with different modes?
Yes, add-telegram supports group chat integration with flexible operating modes. You can choose trigger-based mode (responds only to specific commands) or passive mode (receives all messages). This lets you control how actively add-telegram participates in group conversations.
How do I troubleshoot Telegram bot connection and message delivery issues?
If add-telegram isn't connecting or delivering messages, verify your bot token is correct and hasn't expired, confirm the chat IDs are properly registered, and check that your Telegram bot has permission to post in those chats. add-telegram will log connection errors to help identify whether the issue is authentication, configuration, or permissions.
Does add-telegram support Agent Swarm for multi-bot group interactions?
add-telegram includes optional Agent Swarm support, allowing multiple bots to interact within the same Telegram group. When enabled, add-telegram coordinates with other agents in swarm mode, enabling collaborative group chat scenarios while respecting group privacy settings.
What license does add-telegram use?
add-telegram is released under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions.
