# Rules

The Rules module allows site administrators to define conditionally executed
actions based on occurring events (known as reactive or ECA rules).

### Example use cases

- Build flexible content publishing workflows changes
- Send customized mails to notify your users about important
- Create custom redirections, system messages, breadcrumbs, ...
- Build an eCommerce store using Ubercart

And many more...

### Features

- Obviously, you may use reaction rules to react upon any event with custom conditions and actions.
- Allows functionality to be re-used via components.
- Flexible scheduling system that allows scheduling any component / action.
- Users can share their customizations by using the built-in import/export feature.
- Modular input evaluation system.
- The module has been developed with site performance in mind, so it makes use of caching routines to speed up rule evaluation.
- Rules 2.x features improved APIs, a new admin UI, support for all entity types, parameter configuration via simple data selection (i.e. just pass node:author as argument) and much more.

## Installation

Install Entity Plus, Entity UI, and Entity Tokens and this module using the [official Backdrop CMS instructions](https://backdropcms.org/guide/modules).

If you will be upgrading a site from Drupal 7, you should [install stub modules](https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/rules/wiki/Upgrading-Rules-from-Drupal-7) in your D7 installation before starting the upgrade process.

Rules has four component modules, each with separate activation:
+ Rules
+ Rules Scheduler
+ Rules UI
+ Rules translation - for internationalization

Then visit the configuration page at **Administration >
Configuration > Category > Rules** (**admin/config/category/rules**)
and enter the required information.
