Top 5 trigger scenarios in salesforce

 

1)  Write a trigger on the Account when the Account is updated check all opportunities related to the account. Update all Opportunities Stage to close lost if an opportunity created date is greater than 30 days from today and stage not equal to close won.



trigger UpdateOpportunitiesOnAccountUpdate on Account (after update) {

    

    // Get the IDs of all the updated Accounts

    Set<Id> accountIds = new Set<Id>();

    for (Account acc : Trigger.new) {

        accountIds.add(acc.Id);

    }

    

    // Query for all Opportunities related to the updated Accounts

    List<Opportunity> opportunitiesToUpdate = [

        SELECT Id, StageName, CreatedDate

        FROM Opportunity

        WHERE AccountId IN :accountIds

    ];

    

    // Update Opportunities that meet the criteria

    List<Opportunity> opportunitiesToUpdateStage = new List<Opportunity>();

    for (Opportunity opp : opportunitiesToUpdate) {

        if (opp.CreatedDate.addDays(30) < Date.today() && opp.StageName != 'Closed Won') {

            opp.StageName = 'Closed Lost';

            opportunitiesToUpdateStage.add(opp);

        }

    }

    

    // Save the updated Opportunities

    if (!opportunitiesToUpdateStage.isEmpty()) {

        update opportunitiesToUpdateStage;

    }

    

}



2) Once an Account is inserted an email should go to the System Admin user with specified text below.

An account has been created and the name is “Account Name”.


trigger SendEmailOnAccountInsert on Account (after insert) {

    

    // Get the email address of the System Admin user

    User adminUser = [

        SELECT Email

        FROM User

        WHERE Profile.Name = 'System Administrator'

        LIMIT 1

    ];

    

    // Create the email message

    Messaging.SingleEmailMessage email = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();

    email.setToAddresses(new List<String>{ adminUser.Email });

    email.setSubject('New Account Created');

    email.setPlainTextBody('An account has been created and the name is "' + Trigger.new[0].Name + '".');

    

    // Send the email

    Messaging.sendEmail(new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>{ email });

    

}



3) Once an Account will update then that Account will update with the total amount from All its Opportunities on the Account Level. The account field name would be ” Total Opportunity Amount “.


trigger UpdateAccountTotalAmount on Opportunity (after insert, after update, after delete) {

    

    // Get the IDs of all Accounts related to the Opportunities being updated or deleted

    Set<Id> accountIds = new Set<Id>();

    for (Opportunity opp : Trigger.new) {

        accountIds.add(opp.AccountId);

    }

    for (Opportunity opp : Trigger.old) {

        accountIds.add(opp.AccountId);

    }

    

    // Query for all Accounts related to the updated or deleted Opportunities

    List<Account> accountsToUpdate = [

        SELECT Id, Name, (SELECT Id, Amount FROM Opportunities)

        FROM Account

        WHERE Id IN :accountIds

    ];

    

    // Loop through each Account and update the Total Opportunity Amount field

    for (Account acc : accountsToUpdate) {

        Decimal totalAmount = 0;

        for (Opportunity opp : acc.Opportunities) {

            if (opp.StageName != 'Closed Won') {

                continue; // exclude opportunities that aren't Closed Won

            }

            totalAmount += opp.Amount;

        }

        acc.Total_Opportunity_Amount__c = totalAmount;

    }

    

    // Save the updated Accounts

    if (!accountsToUpdate.isEmpty()) {

        update accountsToUpdate;

    }

    

}



4) Write a trigger on contact to prevent duplicate records based on Contact Email & Contact Phone.



trigger PreventDuplicateContacts on Contact (before insert, before update) {

    

    // Create sets to hold unique email and phone values

    Set<String> uniqueEmails = new Set<String>();

    Set<String> uniquePhones = new Set<String>();

    

    // Loop through each Contact in the trigger context

    for (Contact cont : Trigger.new) {

        

        // Check if the Contact's Email is a duplicate

        if (cont.Email != null && uniqueEmails.contains(cont.Email)) {

            cont.Email.addError('A Contact with this Email already exists.');

        } else {

            uniqueEmails.add(cont.Email);

        }

        

        // Check if the Contact's Phone is a duplicate

        if (cont.Phone != null && uniquePhones.contains(cont.Phone)) {

            cont.Phone.addError('A Contact with this Phone already exists.');

        } else {

            uniquePhones.add(cont.Phone);

        }

        

    }

    

}



5) Write a trigger, only the system admin user should be able to delete the task.



trigger PreventTaskDeletion on Task (before delete) {

    

    // Get the ID of the System Admin profile

    Id systemAdminProfileId = [

        SELECT Id

        FROM Profile

        WHERE Name = 'System Administrator'

        LIMIT 1

    ].Id;

    

    // Get the ID of the current user

    Id currentUserId = UserInfo.getUserId();

    

    // Check if the current user is a System Admin

    Boolean isSystemAdmin = [

        SELECT COUNT()

        FROM User

        WHERE Id = :currentUserId

        AND ProfileId = :systemAdminProfileId

    ] > 0;

    

    // If the current user is not a System Admin, prevent the Task from being deleted

    if (!isSystemAdmin) {

        for (Task t : Trigger.old) {

            t.addError('Only the System Administrator can delete Task records.');

        }

    }

    

}

Sharing records by Apex in Salesforce

  Greetings, everyone! In today's session, we'll delve into the topic of sharing records within an Apex class. As we're aware, there exist various methods through which we can accomplish the sharing of records. We engage in record sharing primarily when the object's Organization Wide Default (OWD) settings are set to private. Sharing settings come into play when certain predefined criteria are met, allowing us to extend access to records to designated groups or roles. In cases where intricate logic is involved, manual sharing is employed. While this approach proves beneficial for specific records, instances where a multitude of records require automated handling, Apex sharing becomes the preferred solution. Salesforce offers a 'Share' object for each type of object, with distinct naming conventions: For standard objects, it's 'StandardobjectName+Share', such as 'AccountShare' for the 'Account' object. Custom objects follow the pattern...

Capture Real time data using CDC(Change Data Capture) in Salesforce | SF Fact #05

Change Data Capture (CDC) enables receiving near-real-time updates for Salesforce records and synchronizing them with an external data store. CDC publishes change events that reflect modifications to Salesforce records, including new records, updates, deletions, and undeletions. These events can be subscribed to in a Lightning Web Component (LWC) using the Emp API. To meet the business requirement of creating a task whenever a user manually changes an opportunity's status to "Closed Won," use CDC events and a generic LWC on the opportunity record page. This solution avoids the need for Apex triggers or record-triggered flows. How to enable CDC? Go to setup Search Change Data Capture Add Entities The  lightning/empApi  module provides access to methods for subscribing to a streaming channel and listening to event messages. All streaming channels are supported, including channels for platform events, PushTopic events, generic events, and Change Data Capture events. This co...
