The rules module allows site administrators to define conditionally executed actions based on occurring events (known as reactive or ECA rules). It's a replacement with more features for the trigger module in core and the successor of the Drupal 5 workflow-ngmodule.

Modules may use the rules module's API to provide new events, conditions, actions, rule sets as well as default rules, which can be customized by users. Check out the developer docs.
Features

- Allows functionality to be re-used via components (Drupal 6: Rule sets only).
- Flexible scheduling system that allows scheduling any component / action.
- Users can share their customizations by using the built-in import/export feature. For that the module also integrates with Features.
- Modular input evaluation system - for example you can install the Token module and use it in every action.
- The module has been developed with site performance in mind, so it makes use of caching routines to speed up rule evaluation.
- Rules 2.x (Drupal 7 only) features improved APIs, a new admin UI, support for all entity types, parameter configuration via simple data selection (i.e. just pass
node:author as argument) and much more. See this blog post for more details.
