I suggest you read the documentation of your distro, because the way to do it is a bit different in different Linux distros.
Search for sections on RC scripts, runlevels, system startup or the like in the docs.

systemd-sysv-generator
SYSTEMD-SYSV-GENERATOR(8) systemd-sysv-generator SYSTEMD-SYSV-GENERATOR(8)
NAME
systemd-sysv-generator - Unit generator for SysV init scripts
SYNOPSIS
/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-sysv-generator
DESCRIPTION
systemd-sysv-generator is a generator that creates wrapper .service units for SysV init[1] scripts in /etc/init.d/* at boot and when
configuration of the system manager is reloaded. This will allow systemd(1) to support them similarly to native units.
LSB headers[2] in SysV init scripts are interpreted, and the ordering specified in the header is turned into dependencies between the
generated unit and other units. The LSB facilities "$remote_fs", "$network", "$named", "$portmap", "$time" are supported and will be turned
into dependencies on specific native systemd targets. See systemd.special(5) for more details.
SysV runlevels have corresponding systemd targets (runlevelX.target). The wrapper unit that is generated will be wanted by those targets
which correspond to runlevels for which the script is enabled.
systemd does not support SysV scripts as part of early boot, so all wrapper units are ordered after basic.target.
systemd-sysv-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
