Swapnil Patne How to write a trigger?
Hi,
This is what I want to achieve, can you help?
Aim- To create a new Event record after a Task record is created against a contact.
We have a webiste where contacts register for physical events- once a contact registers it creates an Task against the contact in Salesforce with following fields updated- (All std fields)
Subject: Registered for xx event
Status: Completed
Priority: Low
Comments: Paid xx amount
Now, once this record is created in SF I would like to have a trigger set up to create an Event record assigned to the contact owner and associated to the Contact/Lead.
Fields to update:
Std fields-
| Assigned To | |||
| Subject | Related To | ||
| Start | Name | ||
| End | Phone | ||
| Location |
Custom Fields-
| Event Record Type | Event Registration |
| Attendee Type | Pick list | Event Speaker | Check box |
| Registered For Event | Pick list | Presentation Topic | Text |
| Event Year | Pick list | Replaced By | Text |
| Registration Date | Date | ||
| Event Registration Status | Pick list | ||
| Event Attended | Pick list |
How do i write a trigger for this?

Regards,
Swapnil
trigger TaskAfter on Task(After Insert){
String contactPrefix = Contact.sObjectType.getDescribe().getKeyPrefix();
List<Event> events = new List<Event>{};
for(Task t : trigger.new){
if(t.WhoId != null && t.WhoId.startsWith(contactPrefix) && t.status = 'Completed' && t.Subject.IndexOf('Registered' > 0)
events.add(new Event(StartDate = Date.today(), EndDate = Date.today(), RelatedTo = t.WhoId .......... // set all fields ));
}
if(!events.isEmpty())
Database.insert(events);
}
