Hi,

it is more complex than a simple if.
You'll find the sourde code of the rules engine in the respository project in he packages org.alfresco.repo.rule and org.alfresco.repo.rule.trigger.

Example: Update Rule triggered by a  setProperty()-call:

nodeService.setProperty(nodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_NAME, "nameChanged");‍

The concrete NodeServiceImplementation will perhaps be org.alfresco.repo.node.db.DbNodeServiceImpl.
This setProperty()-Implementation (there are a few indirections…) calls onUpdateProperties(…) method on a
NodeServicePolicies.OnUpdatePropertiesPolicy implementation, e.g.
org.alfresco.repo.rule.ruletrigger.OnPropertyUpdateRuleTrigger. This triggers the rules (triggerRuleType() in org.alfresco.service.cmr.rule.RuleType).

Cheers,
Jan

You can execute JavaScript (script rule) which can do all you want - you can have as much logic as you want then:
