#D7CX: I pledge that rules will have a full Drupal 7 release on the day that Drupal 7 is released. The rules modules allows site administrators to define conditionally executed actions based on occurring events (known as reactive or ECA rules). It's a replacement with more features for the trigger module... [More...]

Great tool - needed email notification on creation of specific node types. Rules made it a breeze.
This module more or less allows you to write mini-modules in a GUI. Having them written by Rules instead of by hand makes them more reliable, understandable, portable, configurable and safe – there is simply no way you can write bad code (like direct database queries or using non-filtered user imput).
A great bonus is that Rules is written in a format supported by the Features module, making it easy to bundle features for export or version control.
In short: This module kicks ass.
First : sorry for my english, I am french.
Simply a wonderfull module wich allows almost all the possibilities of settings. Now, how to do without it ?
I'm addict...
i really love this feature. now you are able to let your system perform defined tasks on certain events. quite easy to understand, but still a bit limited in available features (when you don´t know how to ship around it) and some features i still do not understand at all.
enhancement/importing etc. of rules seems to be possible, but thats more experts stuff i fear.
but with the growing number of modules supporting rules, there might not be the need to dive into complex code yourself in the future.
When you need complex action->response automation, give the Rules module a try. A lot of custom modules could probably be replaced by a few lines of PHP evaluation inside a rule set.
Example usage: Automatically send an email to your translator when new foreign language content has been added to your site.
If you want to extend your site easily with amazing functionality, this is your module. I'll show a few examples of what people have done, but by no means could this be a comprehensive list:
"There seems to be some genuinely useful features in this module. The problem is that I have to go looking..."
"It gets an image into your wysiwyg but it seems to get confused with centre, right or left align. Images..."
"I give max rating to this light, simple and efficient module. I use it to grant 'premium access'(see..."
