# Telegram bot
[Control panel users](/access-control/user-types.mdx#panel-users) can [link their account to the Telegram bot](#link-account-to-bot) if they are subscribed to [email notifications](/account/notifications.mdx#email-notifications).
Multiple Selectel accounts can be linked to one Telegram account.
## Telegram bot capabilities \{#capabilities}
In the Telegram bot, a user has access to features permitted by their [role](/access-control/role-reference.mdx).
The Telegram bot can be used to:
* view the current balance;
* receive [account notifications](/account/notifications.mdx) for the Balance and payments and Technical works categories, if you are subscribed to [email notifications](/account/notifications.mdx#email-notifications) for these categories;
* receive information about ticket updates — the bot will send notifications about any actions in a ticket; you cannot manage these notifications;
* for legal entities: request [accounting documents](/balance-and-payments/accounting-documents.mdx) for the last three months and download them in the bot at any time.
You can [manage Telegram bot settings](#manage-bot-settings).
