Trigger to update User Profile

Hello,

I have a simple trigger to update a few custom fields on the User Profile Object. Not sure what is missing...I want my trigger to fire when the User Profile is updated.

Thanks for your help!

 

trigger Update_User_Custom_Fields_Trigger on User (before insert, before update) {
for(User u:trigger.new){
u.Last_Login_for_PB_Flows__c = u.LastLoginDate;
u.Managers_Email_for_PB_Flows__c = u.Managers_Email_del__c;
u.AboutMe = '*** This is a Test ***'
}
}

Hi Robert

as a trigger, it works.  Did a quick test in my test env: 
trigger Update_User_Custom_Fields_Trigger on User (before insert, before update) {
    for(User u:trigger.new){
    //u.Last_Login_for_PB_Flows__c = u.LastLoginDate;
    //u.Managers_Email_for_PB_Flows__c = u.Managers_Email_del__c;
    u.AboutMe = '*** This is a Test ***';
    u.MobilePhone = '04';
    }
}
The above works - i didn't test your custom fields.

When you say it doesn't work, what do you mean?  it doesn't fire? it updates some fields but not others?

Perhaps just check that the Trigger is active.

Regards
Andrew

Your code looks good to me and can you please check your trigger is active or not?

When you said user profile, you mean user records ? or profile record?

User record.

Trigger is active.

trigger Update_User_Custom_Fields_Trigger on User (before insert, before update) {
    System.debug('@@DEBUG - In user Trigger');
    for(User u:trigger.new){
            System.debug('@@DEBUG - In trigger.new loop');
        //u.Last_Login_for_PB_Flows__c = u.LastLoginDate;
        //u.Managers_Email_for_PB_Flows__c = u.Managers_Email_del__c;
        u.AboutMe = '*** This is a Test ***';
        u.MobilePhone = '04';
    }
}

Update your trigger with some debug lines and turn on the debug logs and then test and review the logs.  Confirm that the trigger is being invoked and that the loop is happening.
