Deactivate or reactivate a bot
Zulip realm administrators have the ability to deactivate or reactivate any bots in their realm.
Deactivate a bot
To properly remove a bot’s access to a Zulip organization, it does not suffice to deactivate it in the SSO system, since that action does not prevent authentication with any API keys the bot has.
Instead, you should deactivate the bot using the Zulip administration interface.

of the right sidebar. -

In the Bots section, click the red Deactivate button to the right of the bot that you want to deactivate.

After clicking the Deactivate button, the button will transform into a orange Reactivate button, and the Name and Email of the bot will be stricken through, confirming the success of the bot's deactivation.
