# Add a bot
|
|
|
|
By default, anyone other than guests can add a bot to a Zulip organization.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Add a bot
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|your-bots}
|
|
|
|
2. Click **Add a new bot**.
|
|
|
|
3. Fill out the fields, and click **Create bot**.
|

|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
Our [guide to bots](/help/bots-and-integrations) has more information about
|
|
the various fields.
|
|
Nearly all third-party integrations should use **Incoming webhook**
|
|
as the **bot type**.
|
|
|
|
Depending on the type of bot you're creating, you may need to download its
|
|
`.zuliprc` configuration file. For that, click the **download**
|
|
(<i class="fa fa-download"></i>) icon under the bot's name.
