Hi Santhosh,

 

Change TEevent.Name to TEevent.Id

trigger UpdateTEevent on New__c (after insert) {

List <Event> TENewEvents = new List <Event>();

for (New__c TEevent : Trigger.new)
  {
    Event te = new Event();
    te.StartDateTime = TEevent.Start_Process_By__c;
    te.EndDateTime = TEevent.Start_Process_By__c;
    te.Subject = TEevent.AssignEvent__c;
    te.OwnerId = TEevent.Implement__c;
    te.WhatId = TEevent.Id;  // New__c.Name is Auto Number; getting Error on this Line (Error Message below)
      
    TENewEvents.add(te);
 
  }

}
