Won't respond to members in Telegram group
✅Solved
My OpenClaw can't recognize and respond to members in the Telegram group I added it to.
Here is the Telegram config in openclaw.json:
"channels": {
"telegram": {
"enabled": true,
"dmPolicy": "pairing",
"botToken": "...",
"groups": {
"*": {
"requireMention": true
}
},
"groupPolicy": "allowlist",
"streamMode": "partial"
}
},

"botToken": "...",
"groups": {
"*": {
"requireMention": true
}
},
"groupPolicy": "allowlist",
"streamMode": "partial"
}
},
