Thylaksoft In our scenario,i need to create set of random events for contacts ,we tried with trigger ,
that create only one event for an instance.
how do we create bulk events?
Anybody have solution or valuable suggestion for this query would greatly appreciated !
Thanks in advance!
Santhanam,
This is easy to do. An example of this is below.
trigger addMultipleEvents on Contact (after insert)
{
// Create a list to store the new events.
List<Event> newEvents = new List<Event> ();
// loop through new Contact records being inserted
for (Contact currentContact : Trigger.new)
{
// Create a loop to generate your Events
for (Integer i = 0; i < 10; i ++)
{
// Instanciate a new Event
Event newEvent = new Event(Subject = 'New Event '+i, ActivityStartDateTime = System.Now().addDays(i), WhoId=currentContact.Id);
// and add it to the list to be inserted.
newEvents.add(newEvent);
}
}
// After looping through all the Contacts in the trigger, if any new Events were created by the code, insert them into SalesForce.
if (newEvents.size() > 0)
insert newEvents;
}
