mcc22 How to create new Contact (firstname & lastname) from Account.Name
Hello all,
We have orders with associated accounts being created as part of an integration with eCommerce and ERP.
It is essentially creating person accounts since these are consumers. Instead of enabling person accounts, I would like to create a new contact record using the data from the account where Account.Person__c = true (custom field created to designate consumer accounts).
This would be an easy PB but I'm having trouble setting values with the name fields. Any shared experience on how to "reverse-concatenate" Account.Name into Contact first name & last name?
Thanks in advance

Please go through with below line of code
String AccountName = 'New Account MA';
if(String.isNotBlank(AccountName)) {
Contact con = new Contact();
if(AccountName.contains(' ')) {
con.FirstName = AccountName.substringBefore(' ');
con.LastName = AccountName.substringAfter(' ');
insert con;
} else {
con.LastName = AccountName;
insert con;
}
}
Hope this explanation will resolve your query. Mark it as the best answer if you find it helpful.

All the best
firstName = fullName; middleName = ''; lastName = ''; if (firstName .contains(' ')){ firstName = firstName .substringBefore(' '); lastName = firstName .substringAfter(' '); if (lastname.contains(' ')){ middleName = lastname.substringBefore(' '); lastName = lastname.substringAfter(' '); }//endif lastname has space }//endif firstname has space system.debug('first = '+firstName+' - middle = '+middleName+' - last = '+lastname);
