Trigger:-Error while updating related record

Hi There,

I am writing a trigger to update a opporutnity related record, if any new /updated account doesn't have a one. 

trigger AddRelatedRecord on Account (after insert,after update) {
    List<Opportunity> oppList = new List<Opportunity>();
    
    // Get the related opportunities for the accounts in this trigger
    Map<Id,Account> acctsWithOpps = new Map<Id,Account>(
        [SELECT Id,(SELECT Id FROM Opportunities) FROM Account WHERE Id IN :Trigger.New]);
    
    // Add an opportunity for each account if it doesn't already have one.
    // Iterate through each account.
    for(Account a : Trigger.New) {
        System.debug('acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).Opportunities.size()=' + acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).Opportunities.size());
        // Check if the account already has a related opportunity.
        if (acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).Opportunities.size() == 0) {
            // If it doesn't, add a default opportunity
            oppList.add(Name=a.Account + ' Opportunity',
                                       StageName='Prospecting',
                                       CloseDate=System.today().addMonths(1),AccountId=a.Id);
        }           
    }

    if (oppList.size() > 0) {
        insert oppList;
    }

}

It throws an error in line 15: Variable doesn't exist:Name.

What I am missing here?

HI Manish,

Use the below statement,

  for(Account a : Trigger.New) {
        System.debug('acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).Opportunities.size()=' + acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).Opportunities.size());
        // Check if the account already has a related opportunity.
        if (acctsWithOpps.get(a.Id).Opportunities.size() == 0) {
            // If it doesn't, add a default opportunity
            oppList.add(Name=a.name + ' Opportunity',
                                       StageName='Prospecting',
                                       CloseDate=System.today().addMonths(1),AccountId=a.Id);
        }           
    }

Let me know if you need any help regarding this.

Thanks,
Vijay

Hi Manish,

Use the below code,
  
trigger AddRelatedRecord on Account (after insert,after update) {
    List<Opportunity> oppList = new List<Opportunity>();
    Map<Id,Account> acctsWithOpps = new Map<Id,Account>();
	for(Account newAccount : Trigger.new){
		acctsWithOpps.put(newAccount.Id,newAccount);
	}
	List<Opportunity> oppList = [SELECT Id,AccountId FROM Opportunity WHERE Id IN : acctsWithOpps.keyset()];
	if(oppList.size() == 0){
		for(Account acc : Trigger.new){
			oppList.add(new Opportunity(name = acc.name, stagename = 'Prospecting', CloseDate = System.today().addMonths(1), AccountId=acc.Id));
		}
	}
    if (oppList.size() > 0) {
        insert oppList;
    }
}

Let me know if you need any help regarding this

Thanks,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,

The first query gives the same error-Variable doesn't exist:Name
The second query gives error-Invalid Constructor Syntax,name=Value pairs can only be used for Sobjects.

Hi Manish,

Please take the below code which covers all scenarios and bulkified trigger.

Also added the comments so that it will be easy for you to understand.
  
trigger AccountAfterTrigger on Account (after insert, after update) {
    Map<Id, Opportunity> accOppMap = new Map<Id, Opportunity>();
	List<Opportunity> finalOppList = new List<Opportunity>();
	
	//
	// We need to check for the existing Opportunities only for update scenario as there will not be any Opportunities
	// for newly created Accounts.
	//
	if(Trigger.isUpdate) {
		for(Opportunity opp: [Select Id, Name, AccountId from Opportunity where AccountId IN: Trigger.newMap.keySet()]) {
			accOppMap.put(opp.AccountId, opp);
		}
	}
	
	//Iterating through all the input trigger.
	for(Account acc: Trigger.new) {
		// Check if it is insert - Create Opportunity for every Account.
		// Check if it is update - Check if the Opportunity exists or not, if it not then only create new opportunity.
		if(Trigger.isInsert || (Trigger.isUpdate && accOppMap.get(acc.Id)) == null)) {
			Opportunity opp = new Opportunity();
			opp.Name = acc.Name+' Opportunity';
			opp.StageName = 'Prospecting';
			opp.CloseDate = System.today().addMonths(1);
			opp.AccountId = acc.Id;
			finalOppList.add(opp);
		}
	}
	
	if(!finalOppList.isEmpty()) {
		insert finalOppList;
	}
}

Hi Manish,

Please paste your latest code here.

I would like to see what was the error, because as I tested in my environment why it didn't work for you.
