# Add a bot or integration
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](/help/integrations-overview).
Organization administrators can also
[restrict bot creation](/help/restrict-bot-creation). Any bot that is added
is visible and available for anyone to use.

See [bots overview](/help/bots-overview) for 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.
