 # Data Automation Rules
-An administrator can pre-configure actions to be automatically performed when different types of content is detected.  For example, an email could be sent, or a file moved or restricted based on the detection of personally identifiable information.
+## Introduction
-For data automation rules to be enabled the Content Discovery module must be enabled, and providers configured for content search. For more information see Content Discovery.
+The Enterprise File Fabric's Data Automation Rules functionality delivers 'IFTT' functionality for automating actions when particular events happen on your storage.
+As an example:
+ * Documents that contain personal data restricted under GDPR? - Don't allow them to be shared!
+ * Sales contracts reference obsolete SKUs? - Notify the the legal team and move them to quarantine!
+ * Files containing the name Ernie Madeoff? - Send email to the finance director!
+ * High-res media assets require automatic transcoding? Do that as soon as the file lands!
+An administrator can pre-configure actions to be automatically performed when different types of content are detected.  For example, an email could be sent, or a file moved or restricted based on the detection of personal data.
+Applies to:
+ * Enterprise File Fabric Appliance [Add-On] (since [[cloudappliance/applupdatev1808|v1808]])
+See Also:
+ * [[contentdiscovery]]
+ * [[contentdiscoveryconfig]]
+For data automation rules to be enabled the Content Discovery module must be enabled, and providers configured for content search. For more information see [[contentdiscoveryconfig]].
 The Data Automation Rules configuration page is accessed from the Organization menu by users with the Administrator role.
+## Content Discovery
+Automation rules work with [[contentdiscovery]] detectors and categories. Content Detectors trigger Content Detection Categories, which raise events that trigger rules which execute actions:
