Yes, there is no field on Account. But, there is an Email field on Contact object. Check the validation or other triggers/workflow on Contact object.

Hi Sakthidharan,

Greetings to you!

Seems like there is some validation on Email or it is a required field. Please try the below code, I have tested in my org and it is working fine. Kindly modify the code as per your requirement.
  
trigger CreateConOppWithAcc on Account (after insert) {
    
    List<Contact> conList = new List<Contact>();
    
    for(Account a:Trigger.new) {
        
        Contact con = new Contact();
        con.AccountId=a.id;
        con.LastName=a.Name;
        con.Email='khan@test.com';
        conList.add(con);
    }

    if(conList.size()>0){
        INSERT conlist;
    }
}

I hope it helps you.

Kindly let me know if it helps you and close your query by marking it as solved so that it can help others in the future. It will help to keep this community clean.

Thanks and Regards,
