PureFacts Callout to external SOAP API on Contact save event
Good afternoon,
I am trying to exeucte a callout to an external web service on the standard Contact form via a trigger and am getting the following error:
Error:Apex trigger pwmsContactTrigger caused an unexpected exception, contact your administrator: pwmsContactTrigger: execution of AfterUpdate caused by: System.CalloutException: Callout from triggers are currently not supported.: Class.PWMSContactManagement.salesforceContactActionSoap.addContact: line 24, column 1
What is the quickest and easier way to execute a callout on the standard save event for a Contact to a external SOAP endpoint - I have already created by APEX class to call the SOAP endpoint by importing my WSDL so I am half way there I believe.
Hopefully there is a tutorial on this somewhere but I can't seem to find something specific to what I am trying to do.
Thanks in advance.

Add the "@future" annotation to the class method that you're currently calling to execute the callout; this will allow you to call out asynchronously. Note that if you perform a DML on the same type of object, you will need to check against @future recursion (which will cause your logic to fail in the asynchronous call).
