How to read this reference
Each rule type has a name, a run point, input variables and an expected return. Match the job to the rule whose inputs and timing fit.
Aggregation-time rules
BuildMap, MergeMaps, Correlation and Creation rules run as data is read and identities are built from source accounts.
Attribute and provisioning rules
Transformation and Field Value rules shape values; Before/After Provisioning and Provisioning rules affect how plans are executed.
Process rules
Listener, Task and Workflow rules run during background processing and workflows, reacting to changes and driving automation.
