Do I need any upgrade for the Horizon Rules?

No, it will be an automatic upgrade. Customers who have signed up for the beta program will see a new workflow to create Horizon Rules in addition to the existing Bionic rules. Gainsight will send an email notification when the feature is enabled in your org. After the beta program, all the customers will get a chance to experience and understand Horizon Rules before it is made generally available.

What will happen to Bionic Rules?

After a period of co-existence with Horizon Rules, any Bionic Rule will be converted to Horizon Rules. Over a period of time, all Bionic Rules will be replaced by Horizon Rules. All your existing Rules will be converted and you do not need to create any new rule manually.
