  • Send customized mails to notify your users about important

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.
