# Telegram Integration

It is possible to have Telegram messages received by the BotManager. To do this, you have to establish a communication with the BotManager Telegram Bot and tell BotManager your Telegram User ID.

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is currently only used by the Automation and Margin Watch Add-Ons. Both Add-Ons can send automatic status notifications. See [here](https://docs.botmanager.io/add-ons/margin-watch#status-notifications) for Margin Watch and [here](https://docs.botmanager.io/add-ons/automation#status-notifications) for Automation.
