Telegram Notify Skill
Send messages to any Telegram user by chat ID using the OpenClaw bot.
Bot Token
Read dynamically from openclaw.json — never hardcode:
BOT_TOKEN=$(node -e "const c=require(process.env.HOME+'/.openclaw/openclaw.json');console.log(c.channels.telegram.botToken)")
Send a Message
BOT_TOKEN=$(node -e "const c=require(process.env.HOME+'/.openclaw/openclaw.json');console.log(c.channels.telegram.botToken)")
curl -s -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot${BOT_TOKEN}/sendMessage" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"chat_id": "<TELEGRAM_USER_ID>",
"text": "<MESSAGE>",
"parse_mode": "HTML"
}'
Send to Multiple Recipients
BOT_TOKEN=$(node -e "const c=require(process.env.HOME+'/.openclaw/openclaw.json');console.log(c.channels.telegram.botToken)")
for CHAT_ID in 111111111 222222222; do
curl -s -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot${BOT_TOKEN}/sendMessage" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{\"chat_id\": \"${CHAT_ID}\", \"text\": \"<MESSAGE>\", \"parse_mode\": \"HTML\"}"

Notes
parse_mode: HTML supports <b>bold</b>, <i>italic</i>, <code>code</code>- Bot can only message users who have previously started a chat with the bot
- Check response
ok: true to confirm delivery; handle errors gracefully
- Token is always read from
~/.openclaw/openclaw.json at runtime — never stored in this file
