Answers.Text: I can't offer a recipe but the module is here https://www.drupal.org/project/civicrm_entity but am sure you could have found that yourself. You then need Drupal Rules module too. But it sounds like CiviCRM Rules is up and running so try that first perhaps.

  [CiviRules](https://github.com/CiviCooP/org.civicoop.civirules) is available and you can use it to do what you want. There is [documentation](http://redmine.civicoop.org/projects/civirules/wiki) as well :-)
  
  If you want to use CiviRules to send an email you will also need the send email API (and please pull the civirules branch): <https://github.com/CiviCooP/org.civicoop.emailapi>
