Opportunity not being associated with Account?

Hi I have created the following Trigger that creates ten opportunities when an account has more than 99 employees. It is working as expected and the opps are being created, only issue is that they are not being linked to the account record. Any idea why that is the case?
  
trigger CreateTenOpps on Account (before insert, before update) {
    
    List<Opportunity> TenOpps = New List<Opportunity>();
    
    for (Account acc : Trigger.new) {
        if (acc.NumberOfEmployees > 99) {
            for (Integer i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
                Opportunity opp = New Opportunity(CloseDate = date.today(), 
                                                  StageName = 'Prospecting', 
                                                  Name = 'Trigger Opp',
                                                  AccountId = acc.Id);
                TenOpps.add(opp);
            }
            insert TenOpps;
        }
    }

}

Hi Rory,
Before update will work, but it is recommended to work on After trigger events when you are working on other related/un-related records.

For loop error?

Hi I am somewhat of a novice when it comes to apex and can't seem to work out what the problem is with line 7 of my code. I am building a practice trigger that creates 10 identical opportunities whenever an account has more than 99 employees.

I think I have set up the for loop correctly but in the developer console 'Problem' there are a number of messages on line 7
- Expecting ';' but was a '<'
- Expecting ';' but was a ','
- Expecting ';' but was a ')'

Any suggestions? 
trigger CreateTenOpps on Account (before insert) {
    
    List<Opportunity> TenOpps = New List<Opportunity>();
    
    for (Account acc : Trigger.new) {
        if (acc.NumberOfEmployees > 100) {
            for (Integer i = 0, i < 10, i++) {
                Opportunity opp = New Opportunity(CloseDate = date.today(), 
                                                  StageName = 'Prospecting', Name = 'Trigger Opp');
                TenOpps.add(opp);
            }
            insert TenOpps;
        }
    }

}

Hi Rory,

In Line no: 7   you have to use the Semi Colon " ; "  don't use the comma in for loop.

trigger CreateTenOpps on Account (before insert) {
    
    List<Opportunity> TenOpps = New List<Opportunity>();
    
    for (Account acc : Trigger.new) {
        if (acc.NumberOfEmployees > 100) {
            for (Integer i = 0; i < 10; i++) {       /// use the Semi colon here .
                Opportunity opp = New Opportunity(CloseDate = date.today(), 
                                                  StageName = 'Prospecting', Name = 'Trigger Opp');
                TenOpps.add(opp);
            }
            insert TenOpps;
        }
    }

}

Thanks,

test class - trigger - addError method

Hello, I wrote a trigger to check if the url = 'https://sig-cb--Full.cs88.my.salesforce.com' and the profile of the current user is a specific profile (SIG-FSM-Super User) and if so the trigger shows an error message and also an image which I included in the addError function, it looks like this:

trigger ContactCreationForServiceMaxUsers on Contact (Before insert) {
   
       String baseURL = String.valueof(URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl());
      
       system.debug('<<baseURL>>' + baseURL);
       Boolean isBaseURL = baseURL.contains('https://sig-cb--Full.cs88.my.salesforce.com');
       System.debug(' >> String.valueof(URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl()) >>'+baseURL ); 
       User currentUser = [SELECT Id, Profile.Name FROM USER WHERE Id =:UserInfo.getUserId()]; 
      
       Contact c = new Contact(); 
      
       System.debug(' >> isBaseURL >>'+isBaseURL ); 
       System.debug(' >> currentUser.Profile.Name>>'+currentUser.Profile.Name ); 
   
     for(Contact c : Trigger.New){ 
          if(isBaseURL == TRUE  && currentUser.Profile.Name == 'SIG-FSM-Super User'){
           c.addError(' <p style="color:red; font-size: 20px;">Service contact creation is only allowed from “Account” tab using the blue button “Create Contact” after selecting a account”</p><img id="theImage" src="https://sig-cb--full--c.cs88.content.force.com/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=0159E0000002tNp" width="850px" height="100px" alt="Description of image here"/> ', false); 
          } 
     } 
}


Can anyone help me with how to build the test class for the trigger? At least theoretical.

1. First I need to create a contact
2. I need to create a user with a profile = 'super-user'
3. somehow i need to check the addError function..

Something like this...

Hi Sarah,

Please use the below test class:
  
@isTest
public class ContactCreationForServiceMaxUsersTest {
    
    Static testmethod void ServiceMaxUserstest(){
        Profile p = [SELECT Id FROM Profile WHERE Name='SIG-FSM-Super User'];
        User UserObj= new User(Alias = 'Test', Email='SIGFSMSuper@testorg.com',
                               EmailEncodingKey='UTF-8', LastName='SIGFSMSuper', LanguageLocaleKey='en_US',
                               LocaleSidKey='en_US', ProfileId = p.Id,
                               TimeZoneSidKey='America/Los_Angeles', UserName='SIGFSMSuper@testorg.com');
        insert UserObj;
		System.runAs(UserObj) {
        // Add the mandatory fields to create the contact record in below line.
        Contact c = new Contact(LastName ='Test Contact',Email='SIGFSMSuper@testemails.com');
        Database.SaveResult result = Database.insert(c, false);
		}
        
    }
}

Trigger on Lead record that updates lead fields and also creates a task

Hi I am learning how to build triggers and am trying to do the following.

When a new lead is created with a specific company name, update two fields on the lead record and also create a new task. 

My understanding is that since it is a new record I would need to use an AFTER INSERT trigger as the task will need the newly created lead ID as a reference in the WhatID. But seeing as I also need to update fields on the lead record it doesn't seem that the After Insert will allow that.

Am I stuck with choosing between a Before Insert so I can update my lead record, and an After Insert if I want to create a task.

I'm pretty sure there is a simple solution but still very new to Apex.

hi Rory,
Please refer below code: 
trigger LeadTrigger on Lead (after insert,before insert) {
	
	if(Trigger.isInsert){
		List<Task> tasks = new List<Task>();
		for(Lead leadObj : Trigger.New){
			if(trigger.isBefore){
				//set the field values you want
			}
			if(trigger.isAfter){
				//create Task as below
				Task taskObj = new Task(WhoId = leadObj.Id, ..set other task fields..);
				tasks.add(taskObj);
			}
		}
	}
	if(!tasks.isEmpty())	insert tasks;
}

How to "@mention" user in chatter post from Process Builder?

Hello, I have a process builder set up that posts a chatter notification to the Owner of the Lead when a certain custom field gets updated. How can I @mention that user in the body of the chatter post FROM process builder? The reason I need to do so is because I want the user to receive an alert (both a bell on the chatter and an email) when this chatter post gets posted?  FYI the person is always the User-Owner of the Lead record. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Is this possible to fetch the list of account id which are in trigger.new(Contact--object).

Hi everybody,
I am trying to write the following trigger on contact.
"When a new contact is created for a existing account then set contact otherphone as account phone."

I have written this which is working fine.

Trigger TestNewCon on Contact (before insert){        
        for(Contact c : Trigger.new){
        for(Account acc: [Select id,phone from Account where id = :c.AccountId]){
            c.otherphone = acc.phone; 
        }
        }

Is there any other way to write this trigger because i want to avoid writing SOQL query inside for loop(NOT a best practise).
My plan is to fetch all the Accounts which are related to contacts first.

Hi Sarthak,
You are right, you must not use SOQL inside a loop and always use trigger so as to process bulk data.
Please refer below code for your understanding: 
Trigger TestNewCon on Contact (before insert){        
        /*for(Contact c : Trigger.new){
        for(Account acc: [Select id,phone from Account where id = :c.AccountId]){
            c.otherphone = acc.phone; 
        }
        }*/
		Map<Id, Acount> mapAcc = new Map<Id, Acount>();
		for(Contact c : Trigger.New){
			mapAcc.put(c.AccountId, null);
		}
		for(Account acc : [SELECT Id, Phone FROM Account WHERE Id IN :mapAcc.keySet()]){
			mapAcc.put(acc.Id, acc);
		}
		for(Contact c : Trigger.New){
			c.otherPhone = mapAcc.get(c.AccountId).Phone;
		}
}

Automate chatter notification to user

Hello, I have a trigger that updates a Lead field checkbox (to true.) When that checkbox is checked off, I need to send a chatter notification to the owner of that record. What is the best way to do that? Can it be done with workflow rules? I'm afraid if I use process builder, it will fire off several times, because my Lead process is set to fire whenever a record is updated, which I think can sometimes fire more than once even if a field is only update once (unless there's a way to prevent that?) Can it be done in the trgiger itself? What would you recomend?

Hi I am doing the challenge exercise for creating a unique account list view and created this on a new dev org and I am getting this error

There was an unexpected error while verifying this challenge. Usually this is due to some pre-existing configuration or code in the challenge Org. We recommend using a new Developer Edition (DE) to check this challenge. If you're using a new DE and seeing this error, please post to the developer forums and reference error id: HZJWGPUH.

Could use some basic coding help

Good morning all,

I am trying to build a trigger that will create a related custom object  record when an Opportyunity is created or updated.

This is my code so far: 
trigger createOpenQuarter on Opportunity (after insert,after update) {
     
    List <Open_Quarter__c> createOpenQuarter = new List <Open_Quarter__c> ();
        
    
        Open_Quarter__c oq = new Open_Quarter__c ();
        Quarter_Number__c qn = new Quarter_Number__c ();
    	Opportunity o = new Opportunity ();
    
         
        oq.Amount_Per_Quarter__c = o.Amount_per_Quarter__c; 
        oq.Close_Date__c = o.CloseDate;
        oq.Name = o.Quarter_Created__c;
        oq.Opportunity_Name__c = o.Name;
        oq.Quarters_Spanned__c = o.Quarters_Spanned__c;
         
        createOpenQuarter.add(oq);
         
    try {
        insert createOpenQuarter;
    } catch (system.Dmlexception e) {
        system.debug (e);
    }
}

I am trying to get this a step at a time. So I just want the first step to work.

The trigger is active in my sandbox so i was hoping that when I created a new Opp or updated an existing one that the trigger would create the custom record but nothing happens.

Can you let me know what I am missing or have done wrong? Once this part works i will work on the next step. Just trying to learn as i go.

I am brand new to coding so i appreciate your patience and any help i can get. I do not get any errors with the obove code, but nothing happens either.

Best regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,

As your using an instance variable for the opportunity that will not contain any value. You might be getting the expectation that the required fields are missing, please refer to the code that might help you.
  
trigger createOpenQuarter on Opportunity (after insert,after update) {

    List <Open_Quarter__c> createOpenQuarter = new List <Open_Quarter__c> ();
      

     for(Opportunity opportunityList : trigger.New){
        
       Open_Quarter__c oq = new Open_Quarter__C();

        oq.Amount_Per_Quarter__c = opportunityList.Amount_per_Quarter__c; 
        oq.Close_Date__c = opportunityList.CloseDate;
        oq.Name = opportunityList.Quarter_Created__c;
        oq.Opportunity_Name__c = opportunityList.Name;
        oq.Quarters_Spanned__c = opportunityList.Quarters_Spanned__c;
        createOpenQuarter.add(oq);

     }
 
    try {
            insert createOpenQuarter;
    } 
    catch (system.Dmlexception e) {
        system.debug (e);
    }
}
