I'm trying to get an opportunity to be sent to be approved when a checkbox is ticked (the checkbox will be ticked by various workflows).

This is the code I've cobbled together from various sources:

trigger OpportunitySubmitForApproval1 on Opportunity (after update) {

for (Opportunity a : trigger.new) {
if (a.Send_for_Approval__c == TRUE) {
    Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest app = new Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest();
    ID addendumId = a.Id;

      Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest request = new Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest();
            request.setObjectId(addendumId);
            Approval.ProcessResult requestResult = Approval.process(request);
  }
}
}


This is working fine for me in Sandbox. However, I'm having trouble making a test class to bring it over to production. The test class I've cobbled together is 
@isTest
public class OpportunitySubmitForApproval1Test {
    static testMethod void testApprovalSuccess() {

        Opportunity opp = new Opportunity();
        opp.Name = 'Test Opp';
        opp.Amount = 100;
        opp.CloseDate = Date.today();
        opp.Probability = 10;
        opp.StageName = 'Prospecting';
        opp.Send_for_Approval__c = FALSE;
        // insert the new opp
        insert opp;
        // change the probability of the opp so the trigger submits it for approval
    opp.Probability = 40;
        opp.Send_for_Approval__c = TRUE;
    // update the opp which should submit it for approval
    update opp;

        // ensure that the opp was submitted for approval
        List < ProcessInstance > processInstances = [select Id, Status from ProcessInstance where TargetObjectId = :opp.id];
    System.assertEquals(processInstances.size(),1);

    }


}

I've got an email template with various merge fields, one of which is the Event Time, however, it refuses to push the event time through into the email. Other non-event merge fields work fine (Contact name, User name, account name etc). It appears that the issue is because Events don't have a standard parent-child relationship with other objects and because you can't send an email directly from an Event but have to do it from an Account/Opportunity.

All I want to be able to do is book an event, and then have an email template that includes the date & time of the event to send to the customer.

Is there a workaround that can be used for this?

Hi,

I've just made our first trigger in the sandbox, it's working fine and it's quite simple. But when I try to deploy it I get various errors about test coverage. I understand that these are saying I need to test the code, but after some googling I'm not sure: do I need to add this test to the trigger itself, what does the test need to look like?

This is the trigger:

trigger ChangeOpportunityToProposalSent on Task (after insert) {

    ID OppId;
        Set<ID> setSTRIDs = new Set<ID>();
        for (Task tasks:Trigger.New){
          //if (tasks.What.Type== 'Opportunity')
        
           setSTRIDs.add(tasks.WhatId);
           Opportunity opp= [SELECT StageName FROM Opportunity WHERE ID IN:setSTRIDs];
           if(tasks.Subject=='RE: Your Tailored Proposal'){opp.StageName='Proposal Sent';}
           update opp;
       
         }

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
