After your Hostinger OpenClaw instance is running, you can connect it to the Telegram messaging platform. This allows you to interact with your AI assistant directly through your mobile device.
Before you start
- You must have an active Hostinger Managed OpenClaw instance.
- You need a mobile device with Telegram installed and an active account.
WhatsApp can also be connected directly during Managed OpenClaw onboarding in Hostinger dashboard, without opening the OpenClaw dashboard. If you skipped that step during setup, follow the instructions below to connect through Hostinger dashboard later on.
