# Map an insight rule to an existing business rule

Map an insight rule to an existing business rule to define the type of insight trigger. This insight trigger activates the associated insight rule to run.

## Before you begin

This task must be performed in the classic environment.

Create an insight rule. For more information, see [Create an insight rule](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/integrate-applications/automation-center/create-insight-rule.md).

## About this task
