Andrew Hoban 6 Populate Lookup Field Based on Custom Field Join
Hi,
I have an apex calss that has a list of records within a custom object. One of the fields within this object is Email_Address__c. There is also a lookup field to Account which is currently null.
Before I insert the custom object records, i need to find the corresponding account record based on email address. If there is an account with the same email address, i need to add the account id to the custom object list to populate the lookup field.
The example below has a list of records within the custom object and list of accounts - ive removed any duplicate accounts that have the same email address.
How would I join these two lists to add the account id to the custom object record?

List<Account> accList = [SELECT Id, Name, PersonEmail, CreatedDate, RecordTypeId FROM ACCOUNT];
List<Custom_Object__c> cusObjList = [SELECT Id, Account__c, Email_Address__c FROM Custom_Object__c];
Map<String,Account> mapStrByemail=new Map<String,Account>();
for(Account acc:accList){
mapStrByemail.put(acc.PersonEmail,acc);//only bring back unique emails
}
