Hello all,

I have a requirement to notify an external system after every dml event for Leads, Accounts, Contacts and AccountContacRelations. The external system does not want to consume any SFDC api so it is up to my SFDC system to send all the notifications for each dml event on the said objects. I have triggers that call a method that creates the JSON package to send to the external system and initially was sending them through a future call, the callout is bulkified so at least a large number of any of the objects will be handled.

There is a problem here though, first many updates to different objects can potentially go over the maximum number of queued future calls. Second, i cant ensure the order of execution, so for example on a lead convert there will be a lead update notification, an account insert notification, a contact insert and an accountContacRelation insert notification. Plus since i have to update record types on a couple of these records, that causes extra dmls and extra notifications. Since the order of execution of the future methods cant be guaranteed, this has caused incorrect sequence of callouts to the external system.

I am unsure how to successfully approach this? I would much rather send one large JSON package with all the notifications included, but then how do i add the trigger.new records from all the triggers to a list<object> then call the callout method since i dont know which will be the last trigger to run or related class executed from those triggers? 

Alternatively, is there a way to run the callouts synchronously? Any help/feedback will be greatly appreciated.

 

So I created a custom lookup to provide a search functionality for a contact insert/edit table. The idea is that the user can "load"an existing contact instead of creating a duplicate in the system. When the lookup page is opened, the user does a search for a contact and when they click on the contact they want, the page calls the parent page's closeLookupPopup() method which would close the popup page. The method calls an actionfunction after doing the closing of the popup but the loadContact() actionfunction is either not getting called or the action method within it. I am not sure what is wrong with this so reaching out to someone who can help.
main VF pg:

Hello,

I have a visualforce page that i use to generate an excel file which is then sent as an attachment in an email. The problem im having is that one of the columns whenever there is a leading 0 it gets stripped on the output excel file but this 0 is a valid character and i want to keep it. I have tried adding &quot; to the value tag and also using outputtext but if a quote is added (both single and double) then the exported file will contain that quote which is also not a valid.

This is the line causing issues: <apex:column headerValue="DR BSB" value="{!invBSB}"/>

Hi 
I am doing Superbadge Advanced Apex Specialist. I have completed 7 steps successfully. I am doing development in developer console. 
When I am clicking on check challenge on step 8 I am getting below error


As all other chalenges are already completed how can i fix the issue because i am unable to retake those steps again (I am not getting any option to check chalange for completed chalenges). I am also not having previous code as I am doing development in developer console.

I am ready to retake all changes again but how can I do it without creating other trailhead account.
