Use views result to send data to a rule

Question

I have a custom view that display several email address. How I can use these addresses to send it an email with a rule?

Answer 1

This module will help you views_rules

From module page:

View loop

A view loop is similar to a regular Rules loop, but allows looping over rows of view results.

Collect view result rows (action):

This action collects each variable in all view result rows into list variables for use in Rules.

Answer 2

See subhojit777's answer first. views_rules is a good module I guess but I have personally used Views Bulk Operations with Rules module and the outcome was great!

When Rules and Views Bulk Operations (VBO) modules are present, you will see the integrations in both ends. You can use a Rule (to be clear, a Rules Set) as an action for a VBO form. You can basically, for example, have a button and a table with a list of nodes and checkboxes so you can choose a set of nodes and click the button to run the Rules set on the chosen nodes. In other words, execute a Rules Set on a selection of items using VBO module.

You can do this from the other side as well.

Create a View, and you will see an action to execute a Rules Set on a View using Rules itself. For an example, you can promote all blog nodes made by the current user to the front page when the user updates his account.

This can be done by creating a Rules Set that promotes given node to the front page, and a View that lists all blog nodes from a given user ID contextual filter , and a Rule that runs when the user profile is updated.

Johan from nodeone.se has a really nice set of videos about this: http://nodeone.se/en/using-rules-components-with-vbo . You will see many videos in nodeone.se site.

Good luck!
