> **Adapted community discussion:** Paraphrased and condensed from an anonymized public OpenClaw Discord support conversation from September 2026. Technical guidance was reviewed for OpenClaw 2026.9.3. I started conversations with my agents in Telegram, then continued them in the Web UI. The context is still there, but Web UI responses no longer appear in Telegram. I want continuity and, ideally, a copy of each response in both places. ---

Those are two different behaviors. **Continuity:** Telegram and the Web UI can show the same Gateway-owned conversation when both connect to the same Gateway, agent, and existing main session. Opening a new or incognito thread creates a different session. **Delivery:** A reply normally returns to the surface that received that turn. A Telegram prompt gets a Telegram reply, and a Web UI prompt gets a Web UI reply. Shared session context does not automatically duplicate delivery across channels. If a later Telegram prompt receives no response at all, that is a routing or channel problem. If only Web UI replies are missing from Telegram, the system is behaving normally and mirroring needs an explicit outbound action. ---

It is the second case. Telegram prompts still work. I specifically want a Web UI response mirrored to my Telegram chat. How should I set that up? ---

Use an explicit message broadcast for the second delivery. Preview the destination and payload first: ```bash openclaw message broadcast \ --channel telegram \ --targets TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID \ --message "Response text" \ --dry-run --json ``` Remove `--dry-run` only after the exact recipient, content, and timing are authorized. Use the Telegram chat ID, not the bot token. For recurring mirroring, put a narrowly scoped instruction in the agent’s reviewed instructions or a dedicated skill. It should mirror only Web UI-originated turns and skip Telegram-originated turns to avoid loops and duplicates. Keep shared context and outbound delivery as separate settings.
