Trigger trouble with the NPSP and blockDuplicates_tgr
Trying to allow our volunteers to update their email address through our website. They are logging in through drupal where their email and other information is stored and synced with SF. If they change their email address on the web-page, drupal passes that over to SF and that's where it fails. Salesforce will not allow us to change an email on a "record", (contact really, because we're running the NPSP). It always returns the error message, "a contact with this email already exists" which of course is not true.
If I delete the blockDuplicates_tgr it will allow me to update an email, though obviously that is not really the best idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This might be due to the way trigger may be written I think that its after update trigger. The 'after' trigger fires after the records are saved/updated into the database. You may have to tweak the trigger where you are checking for the existence of the email address.
It seems to be a coding mistake I think We are trying to insert one record two times so exception is coming as "duplicate Email Address"
So is there a way to tweak it or is deleting my only option?
You can use a 'before' trigger instead of 'after' trigger if you think that it is not going to change any logic in the code.
Basically if you are looking to find a email address you updated in 'after' trigger the email address will already be there and your code will fail everytime. It should not be a big change.
Other option is to move the code (where you are checking if the email is existing or not) to a before trigger. You can write multiple triggers (but not a good practice).
