invalid bind expression type of contact for Id field of sobject account

I have a trigger on TASK and handler class which is on After Insert and After Update, updates custom fields on account.

for Task - contact (whoId) is required field.
when a user logs a call from contact, he may not enter the WhatID(Account). So i'm trying to query and get the WhatId from WhoId of a task adn also trying to Bulkify Code.

HandlerClass:

 public void updateAccountActivityFields(Task[] taskRecords){
 Set<String> conIDs = new Set<String>();
 for(Task t : taskRecords){
            conIDs.add(t.WhoID);
        } 
//query outside forloop
//Account and contact have lookup relationship
 List<Contact> accIDs = [SELECT AccountId FROM Contact WHERE Id IN :conIDs];

//getting ERROR at this line 
List<Account> accountsToUpdate = [SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE Id IN :accIDs];

 for(Task t: [SELECT Id, LastModifiedBy.name, type, LastModifiedDate, CreatedDate, RecordTypeId, WhoID, WhatID FROM task WHERE id in :taskRecords]){
for(Account a : accountsToUpdate){
//Logic here
}
}
}

Hi @AviKesari

Please find the code below, which helps in bulkification and also eliminates the invalid bind error.

Public with sharing class TaskHandler{

    public void updateAccountActivityFields(Task[] taskRecords){
        Set<String> conIDs = new Set<String>();
         for(Task t : taskRecords){
                    conIDs.add(t.WhoID);
                }
//Changed the below line to remove the error and bulkify the same.
        Map<Id,Contact> conmap = new Map<Id,Contact>([SELECT AccountId,lastname,firstname FROM Contact WHERE Id IN :conIDs]);

        List<Account> accountsToUpdate = [SELECT Id FROM Account WHERE Id IN :conmap.keyset()];
        
// Suggesting you to use the Maps where ever possible, as I am not sure what your logic is.
        for(Task t: [SELECT Id, LastModifiedBy.name, type, LastModifiedDate, CreatedDate, WhoID, WhatID FROM task WHERE id in :taskRecords]){
            for(Account a : accountsToUpdate){
            //Logic here
            }
        }
    }
}

P.S: Mark this as the best answer if it helped you. Cheers!

Hi AviKesari,

You want to update the task Account id or you want to update account fields once task is created or updated?

Thanks
