# Connecting up the First Rule

We now have our condition in place, and we can connect it up to the data flow. All data arrives into a rule set from the green dot:

To connect the If Condition to the incoming data, click the `?` image on the rule and drag a line to the green dot and then release. An arrow will appear:
