Run Telegram from a chat message
OpenClaw executes the postqueen CLI on your own machine, so a single message can create, schedule or reschedule Telegram messages with no dashboard open.
TelegramAutomate Telegram with OpenClaw
Message your agent from the chat apps you already use and it drafts, schedules and publishes Telegram messages through postqueen while you get on with your day.
Quick start
Install the postqueen CLI on the machine OpenClaw runs on, then drive Telegram from any chat thread.
Terminal
# Give OpenClaw the postqueen CLInpm install -g postqueenexport POSTQUEEN_API_KEY=your_api_key # Then message your agent:# "Draft three Telegram messages about our# launch and schedule them for this week"What OpenClaw can run on Telegram
Windows that fit Telegram
Tell OpenClaw when your channels and groups are busiest and it schedules messages into that window on Telegram, day after day, without reminders.
The right channels and groups, every time
OpenClaw lists your connected channels and groups before it posts, so messages land exactly where they should and announcements stay consistent.
Drafts until you are ready
Ask OpenClaw for drafts only. They sit on the postqueen calendar unscheduled, so you can edit them and pick the time yourself, and nothing reaches your subscribers on Telegram until you do.
Three steps to a full queue
Discover Telegram
OpenClaw calls postqueen to list your connected channels and groups and sees what Telegram supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.
Draft with OpenClaw
Give it the brief. The agent writes Telegram-shaped messages and proposes publish times that match when your subscribers are around.
Check and publish
Look over the queue on the postqueen calendar and change anything you want. postqueen publishes each post at its time, and OpenClaw can pull the results after.
What Telegram allows
OpenClaw reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.

F.A.Q.
Frequently asked questions
How does OpenClaw connect Telegram to postqueen?
Install the postqueen CLI where OpenClaw runs commands and export your API key. Every command returns JSON, so the agent can create, schedule and list Telegram messages reliably.
Can OpenClaw schedule Telegram messages at exact times?
Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the messages it creates, keeping your channels and groups active on a steady rhythm.
Will OpenClaw publish to Telegram on its own?
Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the messages wait on the calendar until you set a time. Tell it to schedule, and they go out at the times you can see, which is the setup most people move to once they trust the output.
Can one brief cover Telegram and other channels too?
Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so OpenClaw can turn the same brief into Telegram messages plus adapted versions for every other channel you run.
Does OpenClaw access cost extra on postqueen?
No. The agent uses your regular API key and plan limits: unlimited posts on every plan, and channel counts from 5 on Creator up to uncapped on Ultimate.
How does postqueen post to Telegram?
Through a bot using the official Telegram Bot API. You add the bot to your channel or group, promote it to admin with the Post Messages right, and scheduled posts publish automatically. Setup takes a couple of minutes per channel.
Which Telegram formats can I schedule?
Text messages up to 4,096 characters, photos and videos with captions up to 1,024 characters, and albums of 2 to 10 items. Formatting like bold, italics and links is preserved.
