Which Actions are Available with Which Event Triggers?

("X" indicates the Action is available for that Event; gray indicates the Action is not available for that Event.)

The EFT Server service must be running for an Event Rule to fire.

The Actions Execute command in folder, Execute Advanced Workflow, Send notification email, and Stop processing more rules are available for every event. Certain Actions are only available with certain triggers, as shown in the table below. For example, the User Disconnected event trigger has no reason to trigger the Cleanup Folder Action.
