Hello everyone,
In this blog post, I’m sharing a trigger code that updates the “Update_Checking__c” field in the Account object when a Contact field is updated or inserted. I’m specifically updating the “Update_Checking__c” field in the Account object whenever a new value is added to the Contact field with the same name, “Update_Checking__c.”
To implement this, you’ll need to create two custom fields:
- Create a custom field named “Update Checking” in the Account object.
- Create a custom field named “Update Checking” in the Contact object.
trigger UpdateFieldInAccount on Contact (after insert, after update) {
Map<Id,String> accountIdwithContactField = new Map<Id, String>();
for(Contact con:trigger.new) {
accountIdwithContactField.put(con.AccountId, con.Update_Checking__c);
}
List<Account> listUpdatedAccount = new List<Account>();
for(Account acc:[Select id, Update_Checking__c From Account Where Id IN :accountIdwithContactField.Keyset()]) {
if(accountIdwithContactField.containsKey(acc.id)) {
listUpdatedAccount.add(new Account(Id = acc.id, Update_Checking__c=accountIdwithContactField.get(acc.id)));
}
}
update listUpdatedAccount;
}
Thank you.
Wishing you productive coding!
