A bot that sends content to or from another product is often called an
|
|
|
|
|
**integration**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Organization administrators can also
|
|
|
|
|
[restrict bot creation](/help/restrict-bot-creation). Any bot that is added
|
|
|
|
|
is visible and available for anyone to use.

Depending on the type of bot you're creating, you may need to download its
