Apex trigger /Workflow to Update opportunity owner when field on user changes ?

Hi,

I have a field 'Site' on Users, which gets mapped to Opportunity once the user from that site creates an opportunity.

So , lets say if a user from Site A creates an opportunity , Opportunity will be stamped with Site A.


Now sometimes, there are transfers, so user from Site A gets transferred to Site B, I want to write an apex trigger , whenver a user gets transfferd from Site A to Site B. for All the opportunites created by him  , oppotunity owner should change to Site A manager..( sort of handover)  , Site A store managers role is "Site A".

How can we achieve this

To transfer the opportunities to the manager, you shouldn't use a trigger, but rather a button to run a process ( a flow, or apex code). The better choice would be a flow, and this seems to be a good case for it. 
The trigger could be the one to add the Site field to the opportunity, but you could also do this easier with Process Builder.

Sid, I looked at your only other question that hasn't been solved and is about doing a REST or POST call. I am not very familiar with that procedure. There is a trail or a module that teaches it, you might find that helpful. I did the module/trail, but I haven't have to use it as of yet so I have no experience.
