# 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.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Add a bot or integration
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{start_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{tab|via-personal-settings}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{settings_tab|your-bots}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Click **Add a new bot**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Fill out the fields, and click **Add**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{tab|via-organization-settings}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{settings_tab|bot-list-admin}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Click **Add a new bot**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Fill out the fields, and click **Add**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{end_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
!!! warn ""
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    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.
