Comments.Text: Sure: grab one of the values of custom Contact field via Drupal Rules after it was changed and use it in Drupal Rules actions. Say, we have a set of Custom Fields for Contact and drop-down/select with a few options. Each time a new option is being selected, option value is to be grabbed and send via Drupal Rules Email. Hope it makes sense. Thank you!

Comments.Text: Hey, it does not really make sense functional. As far as I understand, when a user select a value from a drop down someone else gets an e-mail? Why would you do that?

Comments.Text: Does the implementation have to be Drupal Rules? Maybe you could achieve what you want to achieve (which I don't know what it is) with CiviRules. CiviRules does have a trigger contact changed and then you could send an e-mail. CiviRules also has some kind of conditions to check which field has been changed

Comments.Text: @JaapJansma-CiviCooP Thank you for the suggestion, I've tried CiviRules also but probably not hard enough, at least at the moment haven't been able to find required combination of puzzle pieces. Going to give it a go one more time, thank you for reminder about CiviRules!

Title: Drupal Rules: Send email then Contact Custom Field Value was updated
ThreadText: # Drupal Rules: Send email then Contact Custom Field Value was updated
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-08-27)
  
  There are two different "Reactions on Event" if you create a Drupal Rule:
  "CiviCRM Contact has been updated" and "Custom field has been updated" (which is clearly about someone edits Field, not value attached to Contact).
  
  What kind of conditions should be set to get value of a Contact's custom field altered?

  It turned out username_1 Jansma - username_1 was right, CiviRules ( and Email Api for sending emails - a missing piece from my previous attempts ) can do the job nicely. CiviRules can handle any Contact change nicely. Kudos to username_1 Jansma - username_1!
