1. Why multi-platform matters
A single channel (e.g. only WeCom) cannot cover all teams or overseas collaboration. Telegram suits distributed and international users; DingTalk and Feishu are common in many enterprises. OpenClaw supports these via official or community plugins so one deployment can be triggered from multiple apps.
2. Prerequisites
Ensure OpenClaw runs stably locally or on a remote host (Node.js 22+, API key set). Multi-platform setup means adding channels; each channel needs the platform’s Bot Token or app credentials. Have access to each platform’s admin console to create apps and obtain secrets/tokens.
3. Telegram setup
Step 1: In Telegram, open @BotFather, send /newbot, follow the prompts and get the Bot Token.
Step 2: Install the Telegram channel in OpenClaw (e.g. openclaw plugins install @openclaw/channel-telegram or per current docs).
Step 3: Add the Token in OpenClaw config; for group messages, add the Bot to the group with the right permissions. Start the gateway and send a message to the Bot to verify.
4. DingTalk setup
Step 1: In DingTalk Open Platform create an enterprise app or robot, get AppKey, AppSecret; set the robot callback URL (must be reachable or exposed via tunnel).
Step 2: Use a community plugin (e.g. @soimy/openclaw-channel-dingtalk) or official DingTalk channel; install and set AppKey, AppSecret, and callback URL.
Step 3: DingTalk’s Stream (WebSocket) mode can avoid a public IP; enable Stream per plugin docs and complete auth, then @ the robot in the DingTalk client to test.
5. Feishu setup
Step 1: In Feishu Open Platform create an app, enable “Bot”, get App ID, App Secret; set event subscription and request URL (or WebSocket URL per OpenClaw Feishu plugin).
Step 2: Install the Feishu channel in OpenClaw and set credentials; subscribe to “receive messages” and pass Feishu’s URL verification if required.
Step 3: Add the bot to a Feishu group or enable DMs and send a message to confirm OpenClaw responds.
6. Common issues and fixes
| Symptom | Likely cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Telegram Bot no reply | Wrong token or network | Check token; ensure server can reach api.telegram.org |
| DingTalk callback 403 / signature fail | Wrong AppSecret or clock skew | Verify AppSecret; sync server time |
| Feishu verification fails | URL not returning challenge | Return challenge (or required fields) per Feishu docs |
| No group messages | Bot not in group or missing permissions | Add Bot to group; enable “receive group messages” |
| Port/resource conflict with multiple channels | Multiple channels in one process | Ensure ports or WebSocket paths do not clash; split instances if needed |
7. Wrap-up: why run OpenClaw on a remote Mac 24/7
With multi-platform connected, OpenClaw becomes a single AI entry point; running it on a laptop or a small VPS risks downtime from sleep, network, or env changes. On a remote Mac node you get stable Apple Silicon compute, Metal acceleration, and 24/7 availability without tying up your own machine. If you want multi-channel bots to stay up with less ops hassle, rent a MACGPU remote Mac and run OpenClaw there for one config, many platforms.
