Programmatically execute an action set (Rules module)

Question

I want to use Rules UI to define some action sets, but want to execute those actions programmatically from a custom module.

How to I execute the action by code and pass the needed arguments (just a node in this case).

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you have set it up as a rules component, you can use rules_invoke_component, alternative you can invoke an event, which could trigger mutiple rules by using rules_invoke_event.

Both a similar in that you pass first an name/id and the rest of the args is passed along, so something like

 rules_invoke_component('name', $node);

is properly how you need to do it. This again depends on how the rule/component is defined/configured.
