aezell Where Should This Code Live?
This is a bit of a structure question, as I am trying to wrap my head around all the various moving parts of the Salesforce platform.
Let's say I wanted to save the latitude and longitude of a lead's location when that lead is created or modified.
What I can't figure out is if I should write code in a trigger, a custom SObject, or some other place. Also, if I do it in a trigger, does that code have the capability to access an external web service, like the Google Maps API? I know that a SObject can, but my problem there is I'm not sure how to "activate" on SObject each time a Lead is created or modified.
Maybe this has something to do with creating a custom button or something. I'm just a little lost with all of the options here.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
