# Notification bot
|
|
|
|
The Zulip notification bot automatically generates messages for
|
|
various organization level events, including:
|
|
|
|
* Stream settings changes such as [name](/help/rename-a-stream),
|
|
[description](/help/change-the-stream-description),
|
|
[permission](/help/stream-permissions) and
|
|
[policy](/help/stream-sending-policy) updates (sent to the
|
|
"stream events" topic)
|
|
* A topic being [resolved/unresolved](/help/resolve-a-topic)
|
|
* New public stream announcements (private streams are not announced)
|
|
* New user announcements
|
|
|
|
The notification bot also generates automated direct messages to
|
|
individual users for some user specific events, such as [being
|
|
subscribed to a stream][add-users-to-stream] by another user.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, when [moving messages to another stream][move-messages],
|
|
users can have the notification bot send automated notices to help
|
|
others find the moved content.
|
|
|
|
Organization administrators can configure where (and whether)
|
|
[new stream](#new-stream-announcements) and
|
|
[new user](#new-user-announcements) announcement messages are sent.
|
|
|
|
Stream messages sent by the notification bot (including the topic)
|
|
are translated into the language that the organization has configured
|
|
as the [organization language for automated messages and invitation
|
|
emails][org-lang]. Direct messages sent by the notification bot to
|
|
a user will use [their preferred language](/help/change-your-language).
