KSorenson Trigger to copy email from contact to account
Hello,
First of all, I am just the administrator, not a developer and not a coder. However today I am wearing all the hats. I am hoping someone would be kind enough to help me with the following. I am not sure of even where to start, except that I should do this by a trigger. However I know nothing of how to actually accomplish this. I am hoping that someone could provide the code necessary as I am not savvy enough to write any of it myself. Being a non-profit, we do not have the budget to enlist a professional for this and the task has fallen to me to handle.
Short story - Due to a third party integration, we found that we needed an email address on the account page. However, with the one-to-one model, we are essentially unable to access the true Account record for an individual. What I would like to accomplish is this: a trigger that will copy the email address from our Contact object into our email field on the Account object. This would happen when the field is changed in any way.
I hope that I've provided enough information, but if not I will gladly elaborate where needed. Thanks in advance everyone.

Here goes the trigger ! I would suggest you to go through the trail head modules of Salesforce which will help you speed up your learning process in Salesforce
trigger CoprEmail on Contact (after insert, after update) { List<Account> acclist = new List<Account>(); for(Contact c:Trigger.New) { Account a = new Account(); a.Id = c.AccountId; a.Email__c = c.Email; acclist.add(a); } update acclist; }Kindly mark it as an answer if that resolves your issue !

I think it will throw error if we did't give any Account Name
