Call a rule via Custom code of a rule

Question

I was wondering if someone knew of the syntax that would allow me to fire a rule from within the custom code section of a rule.
 
thanks

How about a classic direct _satellite.track call and a rule listening to this direct call event?

_satellite.track('contact_submit', { name: 'John Doe' });

While I don't know of code to directly call a rule.... if you have a rule set up to trigger based on a custom JS event, you could call the event from within custom code that would then cause the other rule to trigger, essentially resulting in the same final result....

So for instance, let's say I set up Rule A to trigger based on a custom code listener:

window.addEventListener('myCustomEvent', function (e) {
  trigger();
}, false);

Now, in Rule B, I want to run some logic to trigger Rule A.

I'm going to assume that the event "myCustomEvent" isn't declared yet, so I will both declare and dispatch the event inside of Rule B

var myCustomEvent = new Event("myCustomEvent");
window.dispatchEvent(myCustomEvent);

As soon as I call the window.dispatchEvent for myCustomEvent, Rule A will trigger.
