How create case when you create contact?

This code doesnt work.



trigger CreateCase on Contact (before insert) {
 
    List<Case> listCase = new List<Case>();
     for(Contact a : Trigger.New) {  
          listCase.add(new Case(
          AccountID=a.AccountID,        
          ContactID = a.Name,
          Priority ='High',
          Origin = 'Phone',
          Status = 'Working')); 
          }
       
     if(listCase.size() > 0)
  {
        insert listCase;
    }
}

Hi Vadzim, you can try this. If you need to reference the Contact ID then you will need to use "after insert" as the ID is not created until after the Contact is inserted.

trigger CreateCase on Contact (after insert ) {
 
    List<Case> listCase = new List<Case>();
     for(Contact a : Trigger.New) {  
          Case newCase = new Case();
          newCase.AccountID=a.AccountID;        
          newCase.ContactID = a.id;
          newCase.Priority ='High';
          newCase.Origin = 'Phone';
         newCase.Status = 'Working'; 
listCase.add(newCase);
          }
       
     if(listCase.size() > 0)
  {
        insert listCase;
    }
}

Hi,

Can you try changing it to After insert: 
trigger CreateCase on Contact (after insert) {
 
    List<Case> listCase = new List<Case>();
     for(Contact a : Trigger.New) {  
          listCase.add(new Case(
          AccountID=a.AccountID,        
          ContactID = a.Name,
          Priority ='High',
          Origin = 'Phone',
          Status = 'Working')); 
          }
       
     if(listCase.size() > 0)
  {
        insert listCase;
    }
}
Thanks!
