Hi Siddhartha,

Greetings!

You would need to use Batch apex to achiev this requirement.Please refer the sample batch class to update field:

Please mark it as best answer if it helps you to fix the issue.

Thank you!

Hi Shirisha,

Thanks for reply. I have a requirement when lead is created in salesforce it will assign to particular user based on Zip code. In this case batch class will not work. I don't want to run the batch class to update lead information.

Thanks
Sid

Hi Siddhartha- I'm late to the party on this one if you're still looking for a solution though, I've run into similar situations with assigning leads based on countries. The approach I ended up taking was to use a custom object to capture the country(zip codes in this case). You can then use a flow or trigger to query for the zip code record that matches the information on the lead.
