Hope you're doing well! I need your help to create a new Telegram Bot for our OpenClaw test. Below is the step-by-step guide, it only takes 2 minutes to complete:
📱 Step 1: Open @BotFather in Telegram
Search for @BotFather in Telegram (this is the official bot management tool from Telegram). The official BotFather has a brown/gold robot butler avatar and a verified badge.
⚠️ Make sure it's the official one: Username must be exactly @BotFather (no numbers, no extra characters). The avatar is a brown metallic robot butler with a blue background.
This is what the real BotFather looks like:
BotFather
@BotFather
✓ Verified
⚙️ Step 2: Create a New Bot
Send the command /newbot to @BotFather, then follow its prompts:
Enter a display name for your bot (can be any name you like, e.g. "Roper Assistant Bot")
Enter a username for your bot, it must end with "bot" (e.g. "RoperTestClaw_bot")
🔑 Step 3: Get Your Bot Token and Send it to Me
After the bot is created successfully, @BotFather will send you a message containing your HTTP API Token.
✅ What you need to do: Copy this entire Token string and send it to me (Kai). I will configure the bot on my side and let you know when it's ready for testing.
The token format looks like this:
123456789:ABCdefGhIJKlmNoPQRstUvWxYz1234567890
💬 Step 4: Wait for My Configuration, Then Test the Bot
⏳ After I receive your token and finish the configuration (about 5 minutes), I will notify you.
Once I let you know it's ready, search for the username of your bot in Telegram and send any message to it (e.g. "hello") to start testing!
⚠️ Important Notes:
Do not share this Bot Token with anyone else, it has full access to your bot.
If you accidentally leak the Token later, you can send /revoke to @BotFather to generate a new one.
📌 Summary:
You create the bot and get the Token → Send the Token to me
I configure OpenClaw with your Token (takes ~5 minutes)
I notify you when it's ready
You can start testing by messaging your bot
Let me know if you run into any issues during the process. Thanks for your help!
