Matthias Riverti How to make a invocable method have a return value
Hello,
I have this method that works fine:
But I want to add a return value.
The value would be the variabe "lcr" which is List<Database.LeadConvertResult>. It could also be a list of strings or opportunity.
When I'm trying this :
I'm having the following error : InvocableMethod methods do not support return type of List<Database.LeadConvertResult>
I have tested all kind of value like string etc but none of those are accepted.
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks,
Matthias
I have this method that works fine:
Public class AutoConvertLeads
{
@InvocableMethod
public static void LeadAssign(List<Lead> Leads)
{
LeadStatus CLeadStatus= [SELECT Id, MasterLabel FROM LeadStatus WHERE IsConverted=true Limit 1];
System.debug('Lead Converted Status' + CLeadStatus.MasterLabel);
List<Database.LeadConvert> MassLeadconvert = new List<Database.LeadConvert>();
for(Lead currentlead: Leads){
Database.LeadConvert Leadconvert = new Database.LeadConvert();
Leadconvert.setLeadId(currentlead.Id);
Leadconvert.setConvertedStatus(CLeadStatus.MasterLabel);
if (currentlead.Account__c != null) {
System.debug('Lead Account' + currentlead.Account__c);
Leadconvert.setAccountId(currentlead.Account__c);
}
MassLeadconvert.add(Leadconvert);
}
System.debug('List Convert' + MassLeadconvert);
if (!MassLeadconvert.isEmpty()) {
List<Database.LeadConvertResult> lcr = Database.convertLead(MassLeadconvert);
System.debug('Result' + lcr);
}
}
}

Hi Matthias,
If you go through this Salesforce documentation (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_classes_annotation_InvocableMethod.htm), it says
If the return type is not Null, the data type returned by the method must be one of the following:
A list of a primitive data type or a list of lists of a primitive data type – the generic Object type is not supported.
A list of an sObject type or a list of lists of an sObject type.
A list of the generic sObject type (List<sObject>) or a list of lists of the generic sObject type (List<List<sObject>>).
A list of a user-defined type, containing variables of the supported types above or user-defined Apex types, with the InvocableVariable annotation. Create a custom global or public Apex class to implement your data type, and make sure that your class contains at least one member variable with the invocable variable annotation.
You're trying to return a list of Database.LeadConvertResult and that's why you get the error. It needs to be a list of a primitive data type, so try with a list of ID or list of String, in the same link there's an example where a list of ID is returned, you can have a look at that for reference.
Hope this helps.
