Privatemsg rule problem With Privatemsg and Rules modules, I want to create a rule :

Anyone create a node, a special role user recept accepted a privatemsg.

But when I create the rule, in the actions, meet a problem:

The "Data selector" in RECIPIENT, I can't find the role.

Does anyone have a solution ?
The Recipient in the Privatemsg rules integration does not provide a user object, because the recipient could be a user or a role.  (There is a Privatemsg function for sending messages to roles, not just individual users.)

So, this is a limitation of the Privatemsg rules integration.  If you want to do this, you will have to add that functionality to the module yourself.
