Create a bot

Send:
/newbot

Treat the bot token like a password.

2) Get your chat ID

  1. Send a message to your bot (e.g. ping).
  2. Fetch updates:
curl "https://api.telegram.org/bot<TOKEN>/getUpdates"
Look for a block like: 
{"message":{"chat":{"id":123456789,...}}}
The id is your chat ID.

​
3) Configure OpenClaw

Store the bot token and chat id: 
openclaw config set telegram.bot_token <token>
openclaw config set telegram.chat_id <id>
(You can verify with openclaw config get ....)

​
4) Test

Send: 
/ping
to your bot in Telegram. If OpenClaw is running and connected, it should respond.

What alerts you’ll receive from b1e55ed

Typical alert categories:
  • position alerts (open/close, threshold events)
  • kill switch events (level changes, HTTP 423 blocks)
  • daily summaries (health + notable signal/position changes)
If alerts are noisy, tune your OpenClaw heartbeat checklist and only page on persistent failures.
