Help with Triggers

Hello,

I need help to create a triggers.

 

One Object: Opportunity

Other Object: Cases

 

Scenario: Cases has status "New, Sales, Closed". Cases is not related to opp but related to Accounts object.[Account and Opportunity are related] 

I have created a field on Opportunity and I want that whathever is the status of Case, it should populate on the Opportuity object in the field i  created.

Could you please tell me how to write a trigger based on the above scenario.

 

 

I tried writing  a trigger but am stuck that how to match the account ID to the account Id on case to get the case status.

But I need to update the filed on Opportunity and Opportunity laos has account name.

 

this is the relation

Case-> Account

Account-> Opp

 

 

trigger Updateopp on Opportunity (after insert,after update) {
list<Cases> ca = new list<Cases>();
for(Cases c:trigger.new)
{
list<Cases> caa = new list<Cases>();
ca = [select Status from Cases where id =: c.AccountId];

 

 

Please help!

For this problem, I see you needing 2 triggers. The first one would be for when a cases is inserted/updated :

trigger UpdateOppFromCase on Case (after insert,after update) 
{
    Map<Id, Case> cases = new Map<Id, Case>();
    for(Case c:trigger.new)
    {
        if (c.Status == 'Closed' || c.Status == 'Sales' || c.Status == 'New')
        {
            cases.put(c.AccountId, c);
        }
    }
    
    if (!cases.isEmpty())
    {
        List<Opportunity> oppsToUpdate = [SELECT AccountId, fieldToUpdate__c FROM Opportunity WHERE AccountId IN :cases.keySet()];
        for (Opportunity o : oppsToUpdate)
        {
            o.fieldToUpdate__c = cases.get(o.AccountId).Status;
        }
        
        update oppsToUpdate;
    }
}

 and another trigger for when an opportunity is inserted, for situations where there is already a case related to its account:

trigger UpdateOppFromOpp on Opportunity(before insert)
{
	Map<Id, Opportunity> opps = new Map<Id, Opportunity>();
    for(Opportunity o:trigger.new)
    {
		if (o.AccountId != null)
		{
			opps.put(o.AccountId, o);
		}
    }
    
    if (!opps.isEmpty())
    {
        List<Case> casesToCheck = [SELECT AccountId, Status FROM Case WHERE AccountId IN :opps.keySet() AND (Status = 'New' OR Status = 'Closed' OR Status = 'Sales')];
        for (Case c : casesToCheck)
        {
            opps.get(c.AccountId).fieldToUpdate__c = c.Status;
        }
    }
}

 I hope these help you.

For now, please consider that Account has one case and one opp only.i.e. it will be  aone to one relstionship.

Hi,

I tried these two triggers but I just have a one question:

Like you have used

 

if (c.Status == 'Closed' || c.Status == 'Sales' || c.Status == 'New').

 

But I have around 20 status, so giving 20 status like this is not good. So can it be dynamic?
SLockardSLockard

I only did that because I thought you only wanted to execute the logic for those 3 conditions. If you don't care what the status of the case is then you can remove those checks completely.

Hi,

I know you can help me with this query.

 

Now as you mentioned I created two triggers.I have one more object oppcase which has Opporunity field.So relation is like

Account-> Opp

Account-> Case

Case-> oppcase

Opp-> oppcase

 

I want now that only update those Opp's which exists on Oppcase object.

ExamplE:  Account ABCD has 6 opps and 1 case and that case has 4 opps.So i need to update only 4 opps not the all 6.

 

Hope you understand my question.Please let me know how to create trigger or modify the above two triggers.

 

Thanks a lot
