Drupal 7 will no longer be supported after January 5, 2025. Learn more and find resources for Drupal 7 sites

When a visitor requests a page on your website with a certain URL or path, you can trigger an action.

For example, you might want to:

  • Redirect from an old page to a more relevant page,
  • Redirect from a user page to a profile page,
  • Redirect from deleted nodes of a specific content type to a specific page, or
  • Show a system message about that page.

To set up the Rule that responds to the URL or path, use one of these Events:

  • "Content is viewed",
  • "Drupal is initializing" (for non-entities), or
  • other specific implementations like Rules Bonus Pack's Page Manager integration "Create a Rules event for this variant".

Use the Condition: "Text comparison" with the data selector [site:current-page:path]
