What is telegram-notifier?
The telegram-notifier is a specialized utility designed for developers and automation experts using Openclaw Skills to maintain real-time visibility into agent activities. By leveraging the Telegram Bot API, this skill allows any AI agent to push findings, security briefings, or task completions directly to a user's mobile or desktop device without requiring external third-party middleware.
Built with simplicity in mind, it provides a reliable bridge between backend AI workflows and personal communication channels. Whether you are monitoring long-running research tasks or need immediate notification of system anomalies, this skill ensures your AI's voice is heard where you are most active.
telegram-notifier Use Cases
- Delivering daily morning briefings and executive summaries from research agents.
- Sending real-time security alerts or infrastructure health warnings.
- Notifying users upon the successful completion of complex, multi-stage AI tasks.
- Integrating with cron jobs to provide scheduled status updates via Openclaw Skills.
How telegram-notifier Works
- The AI agent generates a report or message body based on its primary task.
- The telegram-notifier skill retrieves the TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN and TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID from the environment variables.
- The message is formatted using either plain text or Markdown to enhance readability.
- A secure POST request is dispatched to the Telegram Bot API endpoint.
- The skill confirms successful delivery or returns a structured error for the agent to handle.
telegram-notifier Setup
First, ensure your environment variables are configured with your bot credentials:
export TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN="your_bot_token_here"
export TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID="your_chat_id_here"
To automate health checks with this skill in the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, you can add a cron job:
openclaw cron add \
--name "telegram-notifier:daily-check" \
--cron "0 8 * * *" \
--prompt "Run a system health check and send the results via the telegram-notifier skill."
