Hi,

I've been trying to get rules sets(actions) to execute with the core Trigger module but can't get it to work. I'm using the Workflow module and have created various states and I want to add these rule sets to say Story changing from review to approved. I can see the name of the rule set in the actions that I can attach to these specific workflow triggers but they do not trigger.

My question is can you do this or do you have to use the Rules module, Triggered Rules to add a rule set to triggered rules like Content saved, which I have tried and does work.

Essential what I am trying to do Is trigger and scheduled event to email a content admin after 2days notifying them that a node is still pending review(workflow state, which I can't find in conditions, but I have this working with content unpublished).

Any Help on anything remotely related to what I am discussing here would be appreciated.

While possible, it's not recommended to use Rules alongside Trigger.module and Workflow. They are not designed to work together. I personally recommend using CCK fields to indicate statuses, and there another issue where this is being discussed: #396086: Help using Workflow's states with Rules

The rules scheduler has recently been heavily improved and is well documented now, so you should consult the rules handbook for that information.
