Zhang (Nanjing Univ.) and A. Maury (Space, San Pedro de Atacama), on behalf of a larger collaboration, report:\n\nFollowing the detection of the fast X-ray transient EP240626a by the Einstein Probe (Wu et al. GCNC 36766), the 0.6m BOOTES-7 robotic telescope at San Pedro de Atacama (Chile) observed the fast X-ray transient location starting on June 26, 08:11 UT (~ 1.7 h after trigger) in different optical bands. Conditions were non-optimal as the target was at low altitude above horizon (and setting). No new optical source is detected on the co-added images (clear-filter) within the EP/WXT 2 arcmin radius error box down to 19.0 mag.\n\nWe thank the staff at San Pedro de Atacama Celestial Explorations observatory for their excellent support.",
