Derrick Calderon Update a custom field
I am using Tinderbox as my 3rd party contract proposal management software.
In order to create a document in TB, it has to reference a field from the Lead. So If I want to send "Blah" Proposal, I will need to have "Blah" in a specified field prior to submitting the request to TB. TB will then select the template based upon the string in the specified field.
I need to clear the text of the field about 5-10 seconds after submitting the request to TB. I have seen scripts out there that can help me with the delay, so I am not too worried about that, but I need to do something along these lines:
If Field contains text then wait 5 seconds and set the text back to nothing.
Here is what I have so far:

trigger ClearTempHook on Lead (before insert, before update) {
//List<String> LeadNames = new List<String>{};
for(Lead myLead: Trigger.new){
if((myLead.temp_hook__c=='c')){
temp_hook__c == 'hello';
}
}
}
Using a future call out should help you out here.
Change your trigger events to occur after and put an update to the lead in a future call.

Hope that helps.
