One rule triggering another

šŸ“ Rule MachineĀ®

I have a few rules that I'd like to perhaps trigger another rule.

Right now how i do it. Make a if then rule and if I want the other rule to be triggered, it flips a vswitch (that auto resets) that runs the the second rule.

Is there any better ways to do this? I hate having 1000ā€™s of vswitches as there is really no easy clean way to orginize them in a bucket or folder of sorts.

You can use "run rule actions" to run just the actions section of another rule at any time or as a result of a conditional in your original rule.

The 2nd rule need not have any triggers defined.

It's hard to find the first time. :slightly_smiling_face: It's in the category "Set Private Boolean, Run/Cancel/Pause Rules", item "Run Rule Actions", then select the rule(s) to run.
