They are used to update or validate record values before they’re saved to the database.Īfter triggers: – These triggers are used to access values of the record stored in an exceedingly database and use this value to create changes to other records. It is best however, to reduce trigger to a bare minimum and call an APEX handler class instead, e.g.Before triggers: – These triggers are used to perform a task before a record is inserted or updated or deleted. Triggers have their own syntax that enables mixing declaration with APEX code. It will be easier to maintain and will make troubleshooting easier - it is easier to disable a single trigger than manage many. It means only that your package should only define one. Now, this does not mean that there can be only one trigger per object - with multiple packages installed, most likely there will be multiple. Therefore, it makes sense to stick to one-trigger per object type rule when writing own code.
For example, if you have two before insert triggers for Case, and a new Case record is inserted that fires the two triggers, the order in which these triggers fire isn’t guaranteed. The order of execution isn’t guaranteed when having multiple triggers for the same object due to the same event. This post provides some recommendations to help keeping trigger code clean and maintainable, reducing overall cost of support & ownership. It is nearly impossible to build a useful application without triggers, but the implementation can quickly get out of hand and become hard to maintain if not done correctly. They are similar to database triggers and call APEX code, which is a Salesforce back-end programming language, similar to Java (an excellent intro on trigger can be found here). Salesforce (APEX) triggers enable performing automated actions on when data manipulation (insertions, updates, or deletions) happen on its objects.
