email alert using trigger on field update on account object

Hi,

I'm new to salesforce apex. I had a requirement, where i need to write a handler class and trigger for email alert notification within account object.
I'm having two custom lookup fields, if any one of the field is updated then email has to be triggered to the owner and the assosiated roles as well.Can any one help me with the code. Thank you in advance.Its urgent please.

Hi,

Greetings to you!

You don't need a trigger for this, this can be achieved through a simple Workflow Rule or process builder.

Assuming you have access to workflow rules, you will have to do the below:
  • Create a Workflow rule on the Account Object
  • Evaluation Criteria: Created and every time it's edited
  • Rule Criteria formula evaluates to True and the formula is ISCHANGED(Your_Field_Name)
  • Use the insert field button to select the field API Name of your field
  • Immediate Action: Email Alert
  • Select your Template (Create one if you don't have the template created)
  • Select the recipient
  • Save, Done and Activate the Workflow rule.

Still, if you need trigger then I suggest you Please refer to the below links with a similar discussion which might help you further with the above requirement.
