Telegram Channel Guide

Last updated: April 17, 2026

This guide will help you connect Telegram with QClaw. Unlike WhatsApp and WeChat, Telegram requires you to create a Bot via BotFather first, then paste the Bot Token into QClaw to complete the connection.

Prerequisites

• QClaw is installed on your computer
• You have a Telegram account

Setup Guide

Overview

Open QClaw Settings → Channels → click Telegram Configure → you’ll see it needs a Bot Token → go to Telegram and create a bot via BotFather → copy the Token → paste it back into QClaw → click Connect.

1Open QClaw Telegram Settings

Launch QClaw on your computer. Click Settings → Channels, find Telegram and click Configure. A dialog will appear asking for a Telegram Bot Token. You’ll need to create a bot in Telegram to get this token — follow the next steps.

2Search for BotFather in Telegram

Open Telegram on your phone or desktop. In the search bar, type BotFather and find the official account (verified with a blue checkmark ✓). Tap Open to start a conversation.

3Create a New Bot & Get the Token

In the BotFather chat, send the command:

/newbot

BotFather will ask you a few questions:

1. Bot name: Choose a display name for your bot (e.g. QClaw)
2. Bot username: Choose a unique username that ends with _bot (e.g. YourNameQClaw_bot)

Once created, BotFather will reply with a message containing your Bot Token — a long string like 1234567890:AAF.... Copy this token.

Security Note: Keep your Bot Token secure and private. Anyone with this token can control your bot. Do not share it publicly.

Troubleshooting

• Bot not responding? — Make sure QClaw is running on your computer and the Bot Token was pasted correctly.
• Invalid token error? — Go back to BotFather and copy the token again. Make sure there are no extra spaces.
• Want to change the bot name later? — Send /setname to BotFather to update the display name, or /setuserpic to set a profile picture.

3 Enable IMAP4/SMTP Service & Verify

Under the "IMAP4 service/SMTP service" section, set the service status to Enable.

When enabling the service, the system will require security verification. Follow the prompts to enter the mobile phone number linked to your account, input the SMS verification code you receive, and click OK.

4 Get Your Authorization Code

Once the verification is successful, a pop-up window will display a 16-character authorization code. Copy this code — you’ll need it to connect QClaw.

Important: Keep this authorization code safe. For security, do not share it with others. If you lose it, you can create a new one.

5 Connect to QClaw

Open QClaw and navigate to Connectors → Email. Select Sina as your email provider. Enter your email address and paste the authorization code you just obtained. Click Connect.

Troubleshooting

• Authorization password not working? — Make sure IMAP/SMTP service is still enabled. Generate a new authorization password if needed.
• Connection failed? — Double-check that you copied the full 16-character authorization password without extra spaces.

Last updated: April 17, 2026

This guide will help you generate an Outlook App Password so that QClaw can connect to your Outlook / Hotmail / Live email account. App Passwords require Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to be enabled first.

Prerequisites

• QClaw is installed on your computer
• You have a Microsoft Outlook / Hotmail / Live email account

Step-by-Step Guide

1Open Microsoft Security Settings

Go to https://account.live.com/proofs/Manage/ and sign in with your Microsoft account. You’ll see the Security page with your sign-in methods and security options.

2Enable Two-Factor Authentication

If Two-Factor Authentication is already enabled, skip to Step 3.

Under Other security options, find Two-factor authentication. If it shows Off, click Enable. On the setup page, click Next and follow the prompts to complete the verification.

Note: During setup, Microsoft will guide you through 4 steps: verifying security info, installing an authenticator app (optional), saving a recovery code, and creating an app password.

Troubleshooting

• App Password option not available? — Make sure Two-Factor Authentication is fully enabled. It may take a few minutes to propagate.
• Connection failed? — Double-check you copied the full app password without extra spaces. Try generating a new one if it persists.
• Using a work/school account? — Your organization admin may need to allow app passwords. Contact your IT department.
