jessimcq Trigger Help! Trigger to fire on particular day of the month.
Hi everyone! We're still plugging away at altering our system to work the way we need it to, and we've run into another snag.
On the Opportunity, we need the following to happen:
If sales_commission_paid__c =/= null (date field)
If it is currently the 16th day of the month
If solution_specialist_paid_form__c == false
Then mark solution_specialist_paid_form__c true
From what I'm reading, this may or may not be possible. We need it to happen automatically, rather than after a record is created/edited. We tried a workflow, but as soon as the date is no longer the 16th the box automatically unchecks and we need it to stay locked.
It seems like such a simple thing, can anyone help us with a solution?
Thanks in advance!
Trigger won't work here as Trigger gets invoked on a particular event like(insert,update,etc.).You need to create a batch class and needs to schedule it to run on 16th of every month.Please go through the below links for the same :-
