# Event Rule

An Event Rule in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is used to detect specific events within your tenancy and trigger automated actions in response. It listens for events from OCI services, such as resource changes or lifecycle state updates, and routes them to defined targets like Functions, Notifications, or Streaming. This enables event-driven automation, allowing you to respond quickly to changes without manual intervention. Event Rules help streamline operations, enforce governance, and integrate OCI services with external systems.
