description: Modify OpenClaw's Telegram pairing logic so unapproved users receive pairing codes on every /start message before approval. Use when users need to repeatedly access pairing codes after the initial request, ensuring consistent access to pairing instructions even if the initial code was missed or lost.

# Telegram 配对消息持续响应技能

## 概述
此技能描述如何修改 OpenClaw 的 Telegram 配对逻辑,使未批准的用户在配对被批准前,每次发送 `/start` 消息时都能收到配对码回复。

## 何时使用此技能
- 需要让未批准的用户每次发送 `/start` 都收到配对消息(而非仅首次)
- 用户可能错过首次配对消息,需要重新获取配对码
- 提升用户体验,确保用户始终能获得配对指引

## 执行步骤

### 1. 找到需要修改的文件
在你正在运行的代码中搜索下面的代码段

```
if (created) {
  logger.info({
    chatId: candidate,
    username: from?.username,
    firstName: from?.first_name,
    lastName: from?.last_name,
    matchKey: allowMatch.matchKey ?? "none",
    matchSource: allowMatch.matchSource ?? "none"
  }, "telegram pairing request");
  await withTelegramApiErrorLogging({
    operation: "sendMessage",
    fn: () => bot.api.sendMessage(chatId, [
      "OpenClaw: access not configured.",
      "",
      `Your Telegram user id: ${telegramUserId}`,
      "",
      `Pairing code: ${code}`,
      "",
      "Ask the bot owner to approve with:",
      formatCliCommand("openclaw pairing approve telegram <code>")
    ].join("\n"))
  });
}
```

### 2. 实施修改
将条件判断从 `if (created)` 修改为 `if (code)`:

```
if (do) { // <-- 关键修改点
  logger.info({
    chatId: candidate,
    username: from?.username,
    firstName: from?.first_name,
    lastName: from?.last_name,
    matchKey: allowMatch.matchKey ?? "none",
    matchSource: allowMatch.matchSource ?? "none"
  }, "telegram pairing request");
  await withTelegramApiErrorLogging({
    operation: "sendMessage",
    fn: () => bot.api.sendMessage(chatId, [
      "OpenClaw: access not configured.",
      "",
      `Your Telegram user id: ${telegramUserId}`,
      "",
      `Pairing code: ${code}`,
      "",
      "Ask the bot owner to approve with:",
      formatCliCommand("openclaw pairing approve telegram <code>")
    ].join("\n"))
  });
}
```


### 3. 重启服务
修改完成后需要重启 OpenClaw 服务以使更改生效:

```bash
openclaw gateway restart
```

## 一些建议
在寻找需要修改的文件时, 建议先搜索 `Ask the bot owner to approve with:` 可以帮助你先大幅缩小处理范围, 过滤出最有可能的几个文件.

一个建议的起始目录为 /usr/lib/node_modules/openclaw/

## 工作原理
- `upsertTelegramPairingRequest` 函数返回 `{code, created}` 对象
- 当用户首次请求配对时:`created: true`,有配对码
- 当用户再次请求配对时:`created: false`,但仍有相同的配对码(只要配对请求未过期或未被批准)
- 通过检查 `if (code)` 而不是 `if (created)`,确保用户每次请求都能收到有效的配对码

## 验证修改
- 让未配对的用户发送 `/start` 命令
- 确认用户收到配对码消息
- 再次发送 `/start` 命令,确认用户再次收到相同的配对码

## 注意事项
- 修改系统文件前务必备份原始文件
- 修改后的文件在 OpenClaw 更新时可能会被覆盖,需要重新应用修改
- 需要适当的文件系统权限来修改 OpenClaw 的安装文件
- 修改后应测试以确保功能正常

## 故障排除
- 如果修改不生效,请确认是否正确重启了 OpenClaw 服务
- 如果找不到文件路径,请确认 OpenClaw 的实际安装路径
- 如果权限不足,请使用适当的权限提升方法(如 sudo)
- 如需回滚,请使用备份文件替换修改后的文件

Overview

This skill modifies OpenClaw's Telegram pairing logic so unapproved users receive pairing codes on every /start message until they are approved. It ensures users who miss or lose the initial code can request it again and always get the current pairing instructions. The change is minimal and targets the conditional that controls when the bot sends the pairing message.

How this skill works

The code change switches the conditional from checking whether a pairing request was newly created to checking whether a pairing code exists. The pairing function returns an object like { code, created }; existing logic only replied when created was true. After the change the bot replies whenever a valid code is present, so repeated /start messages return the same active code until approval or expiration.

When to use it

  • Users may miss the first pairing message and need the code again.
  • You want consistent access to pairing instructions for pending users.
  • Support scenarios where admins approve users asynchronously.
  • Environments where pairing codes persist for a period and should be re-sent on demand.

Best practices

  • Backup the original OpenClaw file before editing so you can restore if needed.
  • Search for the pairing message text (e.g., 'Ask the bot owner to approve with:') to locate the correct file quickly.
  • Test the change with an unapproved account and confirm repeat /start responses.
  • Restart the OpenClaw gateway after edits (openclaw gateway restart).
  • Document the change so it can be reapplied after OpenClaw updates overwrite files.

Example use cases

  • A new user opens Telegram on a different device and needs the original pairing code resent.
  • Support staff instructs an applicant to send /start again to retrieve the current pairing code.
  • Automated onboarding where admins approve users later and users need persistent access to pairing instructions.
  • Temporary pairing requests that should remain discoverable until approved or expired.

FAQ

What exact line do I change?

Change the conditional from checking created (if (created)) to checking the presence of a code (if (code)).

Do I need to restart anything?

Yes. Restart the OpenClaw gateway after saving the file: openclaw gateway restart.

Will this persist across OpenClaw updates?

No. Updates may overwrite the file, so keep a backup and reapply the change after updates.
