You can return some specifc values for particular error condition. then accordintg to the return value you can add the suitable error using addError.

 

public class Class1
{
	public Class1()
	{
	}
	
	public Integer validationMethod()
	{
	Integer returnValue = 0;
		if(condition1)
		{
			returnValue = 1;
			
		}
		else if(condition2)
		{
			returnValue = 2;
		}
		else
		{
			returnValue = 0;
		}
	}
}

 

trigger Trigger1 on YourObject__c (before insert) {

  if(Trigger.isBefore && Trigger.isInsert)
  {
	Class1 newC= new Class1();
	Integer validationId = newC.validationMethod();
	
	if(validationId == 1)
	{
	//Trigger.addError('your msg');
	Trigger.new[0].Name.addError('Your error msg1');
	}
	else if(validationId == 2)
	{
	//Trigger.addError('your msg');
	Trigger.new[0].Name.addError('Your error msg2');
	}
  }
  
  }

Hi

 

If you are trying to throw an error to the detail page like "insert successful" or any type of error message

 

Then  you can use

 

Trigger.addError('your msg');

 

If this is not the case can you elaborate a bit that why you need to send a msg to the trigger..!

Im calling class from trigger, so error msg should be sent from class.
