What is Telegram Pairing Message Customization?
The Telegram Pairing Message Customization skill is designed to enhance the initial interaction between a user and an Openclaw-powered bot. By default, when an unapproved user attempts to pair, the bot sends a standard message containing a user ID and pairing code. This skill allows developers to modify the source code to include personalized messages, such as community links, help desk instructions, or organizational guidelines, directly within the pairing interface.
By leveraging this specific implementation of Openclaw Skills, administrators can provide a more professional and guided onboarding experience. It eliminates confusion for new users by providing context on why they need approval and how to obtain it, effectively bridging the gap between a raw technical request and a user-friendly greeting.
Telegram Pairing Message Customization Use Cases
- Adding a link to a private Telegram group or support channel for new applicants.
- Providing step-by-step instructions on internal approval workflows.
- Displaying a brief Terms of Service or Privacy Policy reminder before pairing.
- Directing users to a specific administrator if they encounter issues with the pairing code.
How Telegram Pairing Message Customization Works
- Search the local environment for the specific JavaScript code block that handles the bot.api.sendMessage function.
- Locate the array of strings that constructs the pairing response message.
- Create a backup of the source file to ensure safe rollback if necessary.
- Insert a new string entry containing the custom message into the array, positioned above the pairing approval command.
- Restart the Openclaw gateway service to compile and apply the changes.
- Test the workflow by sending a /start command from an unpaired Telegram account.
Telegram Pairing Message Customization Setup
To implement this with Openclaw Skills, follow these steps:
- Locate the file (typically within
/usr/lib/node_modules/openclaw/) by searching for the target string:
grep -r "Ask the bot owner to approve with:" /usr/lib/node_modules/openclaw/
- Modify the
fnblock in the identified file to include your message:
// Inside the sendMessage array
"YOUR_CUSTOM_MESSAGE_HERE",
"Ask the bot owner to approve with:",
- Restart the service:
openclaw gateway restart
