I am new to apex, I am writing an apex class and I have the salesforce id, how do I update the contact record if I have the salesforce id.

Hi,

You first have to retrive the recordo with a SOQL query and storing in a variable after that, you can use this variable to update record.
  
Contact myContact = [Select id, name, field__c from Contact where id= '0000dadfadf0013'];

MyContact.field__c = 'A random value';

update MyContact;

Hi,

For the above scenerio you can just use the code as below. You may not need to query the contact 
  
CONTACT CON= NEW CONTACT();
CON.ID='0035j00000mtELqAAM';
CON.LASTNAME='CONUPDATE';
UPDATE CON;
just replace the id above with your id and fields as per your requirement.

Let me know if you face any issues.

If this solution helps, Please mark it as best answer.

Thanks,

Hi,Alfia Quadri 11
As you have contact record id get that record from database using SOQL,Then update the required field value
 
contact con = [select id,LastName,fieldName__c from contact where id = 'Enter the contact id you have'];
con.fieldName__c = 'Enter your required value';
update con;

No, Record Id is system generated and cannot be edited or deleted. It is generated every time a new record is inserted into the application. You can read more about Id here. Save this answer.

Hi Alfia,

If you already know the contact ID, you can use it in the query to retrieve the contact and then update it.

You can use the code below as a refrence.

id conId = 'contact id';  //put contact id here

Contact con = [SELECT id, Last_Name FROM Contact WHERE id = : conId];

con.Last_Name = 'Updated Value';

Update con;

Please mark it best answer if it helps.

Thanks
