Trying to figure out last bit of Trigger

Hi,

I've got this Trigger on Leads:

trigger UpdateLeadOwner on Lead (before insert) {
    for (Lead leadInLoop : Trigger.new) {
    // Retrieve owner from Account record based on email domain name
    list <Account> acct = [Select OwnerId from Account WHERE Domain_1__c = :leadInLoop.Domain__c Limit 2];
        if (acct.size() == 1) {

    System.debug('account owner id is: ' + acct[0].OwnerId);
    leadInLoop.OwnerId=acct[0].OwnerId;
        }
    }
}

I need to update the trigger so that the Lead source field  "LeadSource" does not contain either of these picklist values, "Contact Us" or "Reprint" but I can't figure out where it should go.  Help, please?  Thanks!

Sorry my bad, the line should be:

if (leadInLoop.LeadSource != 'Contact Us' && leadInLoop.LeadSource != 'Reprint') {

Forgot to declare the field in which the value should not be equal to Contact Us or Reprint.


Hope that helped!

Thanks!

Hi Gita,

Are you wanting to hide the picklist values from the field LeadSource. If so, you could use recordtypes to do so.

Please let me know what your actual requirement is so that I can better assist you.

Thanks!

I just don't want those two options in my picklist to be part of the trigger. The trigger looks at the Account owner for the corresponding lead and automatically changes the Lead owner to the rep who owns the Account. I want that to happen in all Lead Source instances except where the Lead source is either Contact Us or Reprint. Does that make sense? Thanks.

Hi Gita,

You just need to put the condition on when to fire the trigger. Try the code below:

trigger UpdateLeadOwner on Lead (before insert) {
    for (Lead leadInLoop : Trigger.new) {
        if (leadInLoop != 'Contact Us' && leadInLoop != 'Reprint') {
             // Retrieve owner from Account record based on email domain name
              list <Account> acct = [Select OwnerId from Account WHERE Domain_1__c = :leadInLoop.Domain__c Limit 2];
              if (acct.size() == 1) {
 
                    System.debug('account owner id is: ' + acct[0].OwnerId);
                    leadInLoop.OwnerId=acct[0].OwnerId;
               }
          }
    }
}


Thanks!
