In Salesforce, a trigger is a piece of code that executes before or after specific events occur on a record, such as the creation, update, or deletion of a record.
Triggers are used to automate business processes, enforce data consistency and integrity, and perform additional custom logic on records.
When a trigger is executed, it can access and modify data in the same transaction that caused it to fire. This allows triggers to update related records, enforce complex business rules, and send notifications.
Triggers are written in Apex, which is Salesforce's proprietary programming language. They can be created and managed using the Salesforce Developer Console or the Salesforce Lightning Platform.
In Salesforce, a trigger is an Apex code that executes before or after specific data manipulation language (DML) events occur, such as insert, update, delete, or undelete operations on a Salesforce record. Triggers allow developers to write custom code to implement complex business logic and automate processes based on certain conditions.
Triggers are associated with a specific object, such as an account, contact, or custom object, and can be set up to execute either before or after a DML operation occurs. For example, a before-insert trigger could check the data being inserted into a record to make sure it meets certain criteria before allowing the insertion to occur, while an after-update trigger could update related records based on changes made to the original record.
Triggers can be written using the Apex programming language and are typically stored within the Salesforce platform. They can be used in conjunction with other Salesforce features, such as workflow rules, approval processes, and process builder, to create more complex automation scenarios.
