Use platform business rules to trigger workflows after replication using Instance Data Replication (IDR).

## Before you begin

Role required: idr_admin or admin

## About this task

Inserts and updates that are replicated to a consumer instance can trigger business rules configured on the target table. A business rule is a server-side script that is associated with a table. Use business rules to trigger workflows that are associated with replications, such as sending a notification or validating the replicated data.

Business
rules are part of the ServiceNow AI Platform. For more information, see [Business rules](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_BusinessRules&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-application-development&ft:locale=en-US).

## Procedure

1. On a consumer instance, navigate to Instance Data ReplicationConsumer Replication Sets and click a consumer replication set.
2. On the Inbound Entries tab, click a replication set table.
3. Select the Run Business Rule option.
4. Repeat this procedure for the other tables in the replication set.
5. Click Update.  
   IDR invokes the business rules that are associated with the specified table after replicating the data to the table.
