Hi,

You cane write trigger for that as below 
trigger CreateAccountContact on Account (after insert, after update){

if(Trigger.isInsert){

    List<Contact> ct = new List <Contact>();

    for(Account acc : trigger.new){

        Contact c = new Contact(LastName = acc.name,
                    AccountId=acc.id,
                    Fax=acc.Fax,
                    MailingStreet=acc.BillingStreet,
                    MailingCity=acc.BillingCity,
                    /* similarly add all fields which you want */
                    MailingState=acc.BillingState,
                    MailingPostalCode=acc.BillingPostalCode,
                    MailingCountry=acc.BillingCountry,
                    Phone=acc.Phone);

        ct.add(c);
    }
    insert ct; 
}

You can also use process builder refer below link for the solution.

You no need to use trigger .. Simple you can use process builder to do this work and i would say use process builder rather than trigger

Hi Harsha,

Please refer the below code for default creation of contact on account creation with the use of trigger.

// Apex Class

public class CreateDefaultAccountContact {
    public static void createContact(List<Account> accountList)
    {
        List<Contact> contactList = new List<Contact>();
        
        for(Account acc_iteration: accountList)
        {
            Contact contactObject = new Contact();
            contactObject.LastName = 'Default Account Contact';
            contactObject.Email = 'xyz@yahoo.com';
            contactObject.Title = 'Account Contact';
            contactObject.AccountId = acc_iteration.Id;
            contactList.add(contactObject);
        }
        
        if(contactList.size()>0)
        {
            insert contactList;
        }
    }
}

// Trigger

trigger AccountDefaultContact on Account (after insert) {
    
    if(Trigger.IsInsert && Trigger.IsAfter)
    {
        CreateDefaultAccountContact.createContact(Trigger.New);
    }
}


Thank You,
