## How the connection HackenProof -> Telegram works <a href="#h_96139c2b18" id="h_96139c2b18"></a>

This guide explains how our Telegram bot can help companies when they run a bounty program at HackenProof.

<mark style="background-color:purple;">Note! Telegram bot works only for the individual Telegram account, so if 5 people from your team want to get notifications in Telegram - all 5 people have to connect to the Telegram bot.</mark>

As you know, HackenProof uses a ticket-based system that has [different stages of reports](/bug-bounty/reports-basics.md) processing.

Once you connect your bug bounty program to your Telegram account, the bot will send notifications about the following:

* new reports (that includes the Program name, Report title, Report severity, and Report URL)
* report status changes
* report severity changes

<mark style="background-color:purple;">Note! The Telegram bot will re-send a message when changes happen with the specific report.</mark>

### Good to know <a href="#h_e2e1bcf5eb" id="h_e2e1bcf5eb"></a>

1. Telegram bot works only for the individual Telegram account, so if 5 people from your team want to get notifications in Telegram - all 5 people have to connect to Telegram bot.
2. If you have a HackenProof account that is related to a few companies - you will get notifications from all those companies.
