Nashle Pak What technical solution?
Hello,
Can not find a viable solution to my problem.
When creating an account record, the user must also create an associated object.
When he enters the SIREN number (national company ID) I want to interoperate an API to check that the company is registered in the national repository and then retrieve the company information to complete certain fields of the registration.
1. I first imagined the following solution: On the creation screen of the associated record, display a button on the SIREN field to perform the actions. Alas, it does not seem possible to develop this solution without it requires a lot of development time and learning.
2. The second imagined solution is as follows: A trigger triggered before the registration checks whether the SIRET exists and adds the additional information to the record. Alas, the API call in a trigger is impossible and when it is via the use of a method of an annotated class apex @future, I can not return a list of records.
3. I am now thinking of using flow and see if it will be possible for me to solve all these constraints.
My questions :
1. For my 1st solution, can you confirm to me that it requires to write either a visualforce specific screen for the creation of the recordings and to use JS or worse, to develop lightning components. Can not we integrate a button into a field on standard screens?
2. For my 2nd solution, how can I use a trigger that queries an external API and perform my operations on the records being created?
Thank you very much for your answer.

I finally used the flow builder, it was the only solution that allowed me to respond to my need without doing specific.
