Communication Channels

Use Telegram groups with narrow, focused topics as your main way to talk to OpenClaw. Keep each topic niche and specific.

Instead of one giant chat, create separate Telegram topics: knowledge base, food journal, cron updates, video research, self-improvement, business analysis, meeting prep, etc. This keeps conversations focused and prevents context bleed between unrelated workflows. Each topic becomes a dedicated channel for a specific concern.

Override the default daily session reset by setting session expiration to one year so OpenClaw maintains context in each topic.

By default, OpenClaw starts a new session every day at 4 AM, wiping conversational context. Since you're using narrow topics (not a single DM), you want persistent memory within each topic. Setting the session expiration to one year means each topic retains its full conversation history.

Add Slack as a secondary interface but restrict it to specific channels and only your user — nobody else should be able to invoke your agent.

Slack integration lets you interact with OpenClaw where your team collaborates, but lock it down: only available in two specific channels, and only responds to your invocations. If someone else tries to tag it, it ignores them. This prevents unwanted usage while keeping the agent available where you need it.
