Fire a Named Event in a Rule

Whether you are firing a named event in a script rule or a workspace rule, the process for using it is the same.

The following procedure explains how to fire a named event in a rule.
  1. From your open script, create a new rule and specify the triggers and conditions that should run the rule. See Add a Workspace Rule.
  2. Click the Then Actions tab and click Add next to the Fire a Named Event action.
  3. Click the underlined named event text in the Rule Description area.
  4. Enter a name for the named event that will fire when the rule runs.
    Tip: The name you specify has no restrictions on the characters you can use and is not case sensitive. However, we suggest entering a simple name since you will need to enter it again when adding the event as a rule trigger.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Click Finish.
