Preliminary Preparations

Note for first-time users: If you haven’t deployed OpenClaw yet, start with Tencent Cloud OpenClaw first. You can launch your OpenClaw instance in seconds with one click, then come back to this guide to explore more advanced use cases.

Before you begin configuring OpenClaw (Clawdbot) to integrate with Telegram, please check the following:

You already have a Telegram account.

Have you already deployed and configured OpenClaw on a Lighthouse server instance (overseas regions recommended), and is it version 2026.2.3 or higher? If not, we recommend:

  • If you wish to purchase a new Lighthouse server to install and run OpenClaw, you can purchase it from the Tencent Cloud Lighthouse product purchase page, or take advantage of the discount offered by Tencent Cloud’s OpenClaw exclusive promotion. For detailed deployment and configuration procedures for OpenClaw, please refer to the OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot) One-Click Instant Deployment Guide on the Cloud.

  • If you already have a previously deployed OpenClaw application template, but it is not the latest version, you can refer to the tutorial to update the version: How to Update the Server OpenClaw Application Version.

Step 1. Configure the OpenClaw Model

1.Log in and enter the Console.

2.Locate "Tencent Cloud Lighthouse".

3.Find the Instance you just purchased.

4.Go to the "Pre-installed application" tab.

5.Choose a suitable model/existing API

The Models list only displays models that are available for use in this region:
due to access or service restrictions on some models in specific regions, the system will not display models that are not currently supported in the current region.

If this is your first time using this service, after selecting a suitable model, click "Get API KEY" below to purchase the model's credit limit and obtain the key.
