Pair Telegram

Connecting WednesdayAI on Telegram is the simplest pairing of any channel — there is no QR code to scan. You just find the bot your administrator set up and send it a message.

What you need

  • Telegram installed on your phone or computer
  • The bot username from your administrator (e.g. @MyAIBot)

Steps

1. Get the bot username from your administrator

Your administrator set up a Telegram bot when configuring WednesdayAI. Ask them for the bot’s username — it starts with @ and ends in Bot.

2. Open a chat with the bot

In Telegram, tap the search icon and type the bot username. Select it and tap Start. Or open this link (replace YourBotName with the actual username):
https://t.me/YourBotName

3. Send your first message

Tap Start in the chat, or just type a message. Your AI will respond within a few seconds. That’s it — you’re connected.

Group chats

If your administrator has added the bot to a Telegram group, you can chat with your AI in that group too. To get the AI’s attention in a group, either:
  • Mention the bot by username: @YourBotName what is the weather today?
  • Reply to one of the bot’s previous messages

Tips

  • Notifications — make sure Telegram notifications are enabled so you see replies on your phone.
  • Multiple devices — Telegram works across all your devices simultaneously. You can start a conversation on your phone and continue on desktop.

Troubleshooting

Make sure you tapped Start before sending a message — Telegram requires this for bots. If you already tapped Start and there’s still no reply, ask your administrator to run openclaw doctor to check the Telegram channel status.
Double-check the username with your administrator. Bot usernames are case-insensitive but must match exactly. Try searching without the @ symbol.
Your Telegram account ID may not be in the allowed users list. Ask your administrator to add you.
In group chats, you need to mention the bot by username or reply to its messages. The bot won’t respond to every message in a busy group by default.
