In Unit 30 we learned about the actions and triggers integrated in the Drupal nucleus, through the Trigger module.

In this unit we will learn the Rules module. It is an alternative that completely replaces the previous system. By using Rules, we can define conditional actions that will be executed with the occurrence of determined events. Rules, defines complex and flexible rules in order to determine if an action should or shouldn’t be executed once the event occurs.

Therefore, if we use Rules, we can deactivate the Trigger module from the nucleus, since all of its functionality is integrated within the first.

We will learn how to create rules, by assigning events, conditions, and/or actions to them. We will also learn how to create componenets, which are groups of contions, actions or rules that may be reused in an encapsulated form. The components will also allow the planning of tasks that will be executed at a predetermined time.

Finally, we will learn an additional module, Webform Rules which integrates the potential of Rules with the Webform module.
