How shared rules work

A shared rule is a rule that you share and use in multiple projects and channels in your Channable company. When you make changes to a shared rule, those changes apply to all places that rule is used. You can create a shared rule or convert an existing rule to a shared rule.

2. In the Rules tab, click New rule.
3. Click New shared rule.
4. Fill in:
   1. Rule name (required)
   2. Description (optional)
   3. You can also create a label for your new rule.
5. Click Create.
