Hi,

I try to setup a rule with following particularities:

Event: After saving new content

Condition: a specific taxonomy term is selected in the new content

Action: send email

I'm using rules 7.x-2.0.

What condition to use for this?

thanks

"data comparison" or "list contains item"

You either want to use the "data comparison" condition (for checking against single-value fields) or "list contains item" (for multiple-value fields).
You will probably have to enter the term ID manually when configuring the condition.

Some more information is found in the second episode of these screencasts: http://dev.nodeone.se/node/984

Good luck!

Thank you Johan, I watched your useful videos.

I had really difficulties understanding the syntax of the data selector. Before I had the impression that one condition would be enough but I found the data selector offered very limited choice. Combining multiple conditions is the solution to get to the wanted fields and data. So I was able to solve my problem:

I put the two following conditions:

1- Entity has field > Node and value is (my taxonomy term custom field)
after this first condition I tell rules that I will be using this field
2- Data Comparison > node:(my taxonomy term custom field):tid
in value I put my tid

and action! It works.

Awesome!
