CRITICAL: Finding Chat IDs

Don't know a chat ID? Run this FIRST:

bash

openclaw sessions list

This shows ALL active chats. Look for

deliveryContext: telegram:<chat_id>

— extract the number.

NEVER:

Use @usernames (they fail with "chat not found")
Grep through files looking for IDs
Ask the user for the ID
Guess or make up IDs

ALWAYS:

Run
```
openclaw sessions list
```
first
Use the numeric ID from deliveryContext
Save IDs to journal after you learn them

ID format:

User IDs: positive numbers (e.g.,
```
123456789
```
)
Group IDs: negative numbers starting with
```
-100
```
(e.g.,
```
-1001234567890
```
)
