Hello everyone,

I am trying to find a way to send a private message to any user(s) selected in a view list (with the VBO checkboxes). My view is of node type and lists all users who have flagged the node. The list contains the title of the node, the name of the user who flagged the node, when that happened and the checkbox from the VBO module.

I have tried to create a rule set to send a private message to the users selected via the checkboxes, but I really struggle to understand how to use the rules module. I know I have to 'add new component', but I get stuck here. I am very confused as to what to do. The action is 'send a message' which is provided with the privatemessage rules module but I do not know what conditions or variables to use (even after watching videos mentioning calling entities and so on).

Please help! Thanks in advance.

It seems like it is not possible to send a pm to a user, which is an entity of a VBO form through Rules. I have tried to create my own module to create a unique action accessible in the VBO view page. Here is some help that I have found on the subject:

I hope this helps.
