Hi, 

     I feel like that direct call rule and custom event does the same thing. Can anyone explain the main key difference?

    I agree, they're very similar. Custom events are triggered by generic JavaScript, while direct call rules are triggered by tags/Launch-specific code. Personally, I think it's better to implement custom events in your web app. You might want to hook into them for other purposes besides tags/Launch rules, too.
