About this task

When an insight rule is processed, it generates an insight. Insights appear on the Insights widget in the Executions dashboard of Automation Center Workspace.

An insight trigger activates the associated insight rule to run.

An insight rule doesn’t run unless it’s mapped to an insight trigger.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Automation Center > Administration > Insight Rules.
2. Open an insight rule that you want to write JavaScript code for the associated message variable.
3. On the Automation Message Variables tab, select a variable.
4. On the form, fill in the fields.
