After updating to v2026.4.29, Slack and Telegram stopped responding, openclaw is able to send a message directly to slack, but when @mention openclaw bot from Slack, no response at all. On Telegram, when messaging the bot, nothing is responding. What have been done to debug:

  • ran openclaw doctor: everything show as working fine
  • ran openclaw doctor --fix, issue persist
  • double checked config file, everything seem set up correctly
  • removed the config related to slack and telegram, set it up again, but it is not working still
  • have openclaw to help debug: on webchat, it kept saying everything is working fine Webchat on openclaw dashboard works still with v2026.4.29.

Solutions: When reverting openclaw version to v2026.4.23, everything is working again.

TL;DR

Reverting the OpenClaw version to v2026.4.23 resolves the issue with Slack and Telegram responses.

Guidance

  • The problem seems to be specific to version v2026.4.29, as reverting to v2026.4.23 fixes the issue.
  • Verify that the configuration files for Slack and Telegram are correctly set up, even though they were double-checked, to ensure no changes were introduced in the update.
  • Consider reaching out to the OpenClaw support or community to report the issue with v2026.4.29, as openclaw doctor and openclaw doctor --fix did not resolve the problem.
  • Test the webchat functionality on the OpenClaw dashboard with v2026.4.29 to see if the issue is specific to Slack and Telegram integrations.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more details on the configuration or the exact changes made in v2026.4.29.

Notes

The issue seems to be version-specific, and without more information on the changes introduced in v2026.4.29, it's challenging to provide a more detailed fix. The fact that openclaw doctor and openclaw doctor --fix did not resolve the issue suggests a potential problem with the update itself.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Revert to version v2026.4.23 until a fix for v2026.4.29 is available, as it has been confirmed to resolve the issue with Slack and Telegram responses.
