Telegram Client
Telegram client pane for Hermes Desktop: dialogs, message history with image previews and per-post image reload, forum topics, and reviewed send/reply/save/delete/mark-as-read actions via a dedicated Telethon user session (separate from the core gateway bot token). All history is sanitized before rendering.
Good to know before installing
The profile dashboard backend reads dialogs and message history and downloads media for in-page previews (page byte-budgeted and cached in memory); TELEGRAM_API_ID/TELEGRAM_API_HASH come from the profile's Hermes secrets; login challenges stay in process memory; the dedicated Telethon session lives in HERMES_HOME/telegram-plugin-auth/ (directory 0700, .session and its -wal/-shm sidecars 0600), and anyone holding that session file controls the Telegram account; delete removes the selected message for everyone; mutations go prepare -> exact preview -> confirm -> commit -> readback, and the pane's "Confirm actions" switch (on by default) can turn the preview step off; message links open in the system browser (http and https only).

How to install
- Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.
hermes plugins install telegram-client - Said no? Turn it on later:
hermes plugins enable telegram-client - Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.
Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see Full setup & settings. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide (opens in a new tab).
