I have an rule with Create Activity set and an action to add the source contact to a group. The selector claims that the activity->source_contact_id is not a Contact type (also tried with source_contact). It only shows these valid matching types:
site:current-user:roles: User roles The roles of the user.
civicrm-activity:source-contact-id-contact:civi-user: Drupal User
civicrm-activity:source-contact-id-contact:primary-contact-id-contact: Household Primary Contact ID
civicrm-activity:source-contact-id-contact:employer-id-contact: Current Employer ID
civicrm-activity:source-contact-id-contact:civicrm-user: Drupal User Drupal User for contact

I get an error: The data type of the configured argument does not match the parameter's contact requirement.

Is the action to add the user to a civicrm group - as provided through the CiviCRM Rules module (not this module). I have only worked on making CiviCRM entities available to drupal actions so far.

I would probably not try to make it work with Rules but implement a civicrm-entity native set of actions (Bangpounds work may help with this)

Actually applying this to the civicrm_rules module might make them play together - on this action. (although rules would need to be more vigourously patched potentially :-()

the inbuilt rules uses the entity 'contact' to denote 'civicrm_contact' - but I don't think that is sufficiently unique as an entity name

You may find the https://github.com/eileenmcnaughton/civicrm_entity_actions module is useful for this

Wow - why not merge your action module with civicrm_entity - this stuff is great!

The reason I didn't merge is was that I wasn't sure this was the form I wanted entity actions to take - so I wanted to put them somewhere off-to-the-side. Mainly I'm thinking I'd rather something more generic rather than a mish-mash collection of actions - although that could be unavoidable

I'm closing this - at the moment I'm leaving the option to use civicrm_entity_rules rather than add to this module
