This module is an incomplete port to Backdrop of the Drupal contributed module Rules version 7.x-2.9
The Rules module allows site administrators to define conditionally executed actions based on occurring events (known as reactive or ECA rules).
The Drupal version of Rules makes extensive use of classes and functions provided by the Drupal contributed module Entity API. Because Backdrop includes an entity module in core, the required additional elements have been integrated within this port of Rules for Backdrop, placing them in the includes folder with file name prefix ext.
Because of this significant difference it will not be possible to upgrade Rules directly from a Drupal 7 to a Backdrop installation, however it should be possible to export rules from Drupal and import them into Backdrop.
This port to Backdrop is not yet complete.
Install this module using the official Backdrop CMS instructions at https://backdropcms.org/guide/modules
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.
There are six inbuilt tests:
-
Reaction Rules - Tests triggering reactive rules.
-
Rules Core Integration - Tests provided integration for backdrop core.
-
Rules Data test - Tests rules data saving and type matching.
-
Rules Engine tests - Test using the rules API to create and evaluate rules.
-
Rules event dispatchers - Tests event dispatcher functionality.
-
Rules invocation enabled - Tests that Rules events are enabled during menu item loads.

Seeking additional maintainers.
This port to Backdrop would not, of course, be possible without all the work done by the developers and maintainers of the Drupal module.
