Hi All,

Automatically created the 2 child records when parent(Account) record is created? Best approach (Process builder or Apex trigger)?


Thanks,

Hi Malakondaiah,

You should use a Trigger when you cannot do what you want to do with the declarative features of Salesforce.
So the answer is process builder.

Hi Malakondaiah,

I have test below code my side , Please use :-
  
trigger Addreletedrecord on Account (after insert) {
List<Opportunity> oppList = new List<Opportunity>();
	for(Account a:[SELECT Id,Name from Account where Id IN:Trigger.new]){
		oppList.add(New Opportunity(Name= a.Name+'opportunity',StageName='Prospecting',AccountId=a.Id));
    }
    
    try {
       insert oppList;
    } catch (system.Dmlexception e) {
        system.debug (e);
    }

}

Hi Malakondaiah,
A Process Builder will also do the work and will be a better option.
You just have to create an action that would create a new record and reference the account id in the accountId field.

Hi Malakondaiah,

Yes we can do it via Process Builder.

We need to just create two actions as in the pic below

User-added image

a1 and a2 are two actions which will create contacts

Set action as:-
User-added image

Please mark it as best if it helps.

Thanks

Hi Ajay,
Thanks for Your Replay. I am not talking about the actions. 
My question : is it possible to do 2 or more child objects when parent/other record created using process builder.
Thanks,

Hi,
So do you want two different object records to be created whwn a account record is created?

Yes.

Two Object Records not Objects.
Yes, you can do it, just change the object in the action.
