Programmatically trigger rules action component

Question

I have some problem in triggering an action component.
I tryed to call it from the module function and from the devel/php page.

This is my component settings

As you can see I have one node argument followed by 4 text arguments. And i'm trying to call it with this code

$node = node_load( 981 );
$return = rules_invoke_event('rules_send_mail', 
    $node, 
    'mymail@gmail.com', 
    '123', 
    'nome', 
    'sss' );
print_r( $return );

Nothing is printed on the page.. not an array or a FALSE.
The action simply send and email to client_mail.

Can someone help me to understand why is not working?

Answer 1

if its a rule action component than it should be called by

 rules_invoke_component('name', $other_parameters..);

while rules_invoke_event() is suppose to trigger an event on which you might have different rules to act on.
