Body: <p>I'm still getting my head around CiviCRM, and also only have admin access (but not sftp) so if I need to get into the code I'll have to ask our external support team.</p>
  
  <p>I want to be able to take the HTML from a certain type of content when posted on our Drupal 7 site (Media Release) and automatically send it to a CiviCRM Mailing List group.</p>
  
  <p>CiviRules out of the box only allows CiviCRM events as triggers; is there a robust way to link it to Drupal events? Is it only possible through code rather than a UI option somewhere?</p>

  We built a [solution](https://github.com/eileenmcnaughton/civicrm_views_token) that uses Drupal Views and a you can then use a token to deliver the content of that view in to a CiviMail. That may be useful to you or it may at least put your 'external support team' on to the job.
