Add a bot or integration

import {TabItem, Tabs} from "@astrojs/starlight/components";

import FlattenedSteps from "../../components/FlattenedSteps.astro"; import NavigationSteps from "../../components/NavigationSteps.astro"; import ZulipNote from "../../components/ZulipNote.astro";

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. Any bot that is added is visible and available for anyone to use.

Depending on the type of bot you're creating, you may need to download its zuliprc configuration file.
