How to AutoFollow a group of People

I am trying to write a trigger that will autofollow a group users to every new record in the object MPS__c

 

I have been able to automatically follow one user to the record, but when I try to autofollow additional users, I recieve the following error:

 

Error: Compile Error: Duplicate field initialization: subscriberid at line 24 column 34

 

 

Here is my trigger:

 

 

trigger MPSFollowers on MPS__c (After Insert) {

    Set<Id> mIds = new Set<Id>();
    Set<Id> fId = new Set<Id>();
    for(MPS__c mps :trigger.new) {
    
        mids.add(mps.id);
        System.debug('**** 1 mps id : '+ mps.id);
    }
    
   List<MPS__c> p = [select id from MPS__c where id in :mIds];

   
   List<User> u1 = [select id from User where name = 'Shawn Prendiville'];
   List<User> u2 = [select id from User where name = 'Mariann Harmon'];
   List<User> u3 = [select id from User where name = 'Paul van Vugt'];
   List<User> u4 = [select id from User where name = 'Gary Brown'];
   List<User> u5 = [select id from User where name = 'Dave Setzer'];
                    
    EntitySubscription follow = new EntitySubscription (

                                 parentId = p[0].id,
                                 subscriberid = u1[0].id,
                                 subscriberid = u2[0].id
                );

    insert follow;


}

 

 

How do I bulkify this trigger and assign multiple users to follow the record?

 

Thank you,

ckellie

I believe you will have to loop through the users which you intend to follow the your entity to create multiple entity subscription records.

This was solved:

trigger MPSFollowers on MPS__c (After Insert) {

    Set<Id> mIds = new Set<Id>();
    public boolean isTest               { get; set; }
    public integer followingcount       { get; set; }
    for(MPS__c mps :trigger.new) {
    
        mids.add(mps.id);
        System.debug('**** 1 mps id : '+ mps.id);
    }

   List<MPS__c> p = [select id, createdby.name from MPS__c where id in :mIds];
 
   for(user u : [select id from user where name = 'Shawn Prendiville'
                                       or name = 'Mariann Harmon'
                                       or name = 'Ronald Bontan'
                                       or name = 'Alfred van der Wal'
                                       or name = 'Gary Brown'
                                       or name = 'Daniel Leighty']){
   
   EntitySubscription[] followingES = [select id, parentid, subscriberid, parent.name
            from EntitySubscription where subscriberid = :u.id];
   
    Map<string,string> following = new Map<string,string> ();
    
    for( EntitySubscription es : followingES )

                following.put( es.parentid, es.parent.name );  

        // All following
        followingcount = following.size();
   system.debug(followingcount);
    If(p[0].createdby.name != '' && followingcount < 350){
    EntitySubscription follow = new EntitySubscription (

                                 parentId = p[0].id,
                                 subscriberid = u.id
                             
                );

    insert follow;

    }
    }
        
}
