Trigger

Hi,

 

I am very new to Apex Cade.

 

I am trying to write a trigger for Opportunity object as below.

This is intended to assign the Opportunity with Amount greater than amount 500 to a specific user.

Code:
trigger DinTestTrig on Opportunity (after insert ) {
Opportunity opp = new Opportunity() ; 
if(opp.Amount >=500)
{
opp.OwnerId='00550000000s6RGAAY';
}

}

But the trigger is not working, i.e. the owner is not changing accordingly.

 

Can anybody please help?

 
Thanks

You can not modify values on the target objects in the request in after triggers. Try changing your trigger to being before:

trigger DinTestTrig on Opportunity (before insert ) {...}

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

But when I am creating an opportunity with amount greater than 500 the owner is not changing.

 

Thanks,

That'll never do anything because you create a new blank opportunity and look at the properties of that, and not the trigger context values. Try this.

trigger DinTestTrig on Opportunity (before insert ) {
  for(Opportunity opp : Trigger.new) {
    if(opp.Amount >=500)
    {
       opp.OwnerId='00550000000s6RGAAY';
    }
  }
}
