Config validation error when starting Clawdbot Gateway (Telegram channel)
What you’re trying to do (goal + expected behaviour)
I am trying to start the Clawdbot Gateway so that the Telegram channel is active and the bot runs normally.
Expected behaviour: the gateway starts successfully without any configuration validation errors.
What happened instead (exact error text)
The gateway fails to start and shows the following error:
Error: Config validation failed: channels.telegram.allowFrom:
channels.telegram.dmPolicy="open" requires channels.telegram.allowFrom to include ""
What you ran / clicked (command(s), config snippet, etc.)
Restarted the scheduled task “Clawdbot Gateway”.
No manual command was executed in the terminal; the gateway is started via the scheduled task.
Your environment (OS, install method, versions)
OS: Windows
Environment: PowerShell
Install method: Browser-based setup with a local Clawdbot Gateway (Windows Scheduled Task)
Application: Clawdbot Gateway
Version: Not specified
Any relevant logs (paste the smallest useful chunk)
Restarted Scheduled Task: Clawdbot Gateway
Error: Config validation failed: channels.telegram.allowFrom:
channels.telegram.dmPolicy="open" requires channels.telegram.allowFrom to include ""
