	These files are not Jinja2 templates, so there's no reason that they needed to be inside `templates/zerver`. Moving them to the top level reflects their importance and also makes it feel nicer to work on editing the help center content, without it being unnecessary buried deep in the codebase.

| # 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**.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 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 and integrations](/help/bots-and-integrations) 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.
