The newly discovered X-ray transient XTE J1701-462 (ATEL #696, #700, #702, #703, #704, #706) was in the field of view of the INTEGRAL instruments during a routine Galactic Plane Scan on 2006 Jan. 21 at 03:45 UT, during one pointing of 1850 sec in JEM-X and three pointings in IBIS. It was detected by the JEM-X instrument with a flux of 58+-6 counts/s in 3-10 keV (about 0.9 Crab) and 2.8+-0.5 counts/s in 10-20 keV (about 0.13 Crab). It was not detected in ISGRI, with an upper limit of 5 mCrabs above 20 keV. The INTEGRAL spectrum cannot be represented with a powerlaw. A thermal bremsstrahlung with kT = 3 keV fits the data.
