Querying for multipicklist values

Hi,

 

 

I'm trying to write a triger that for certain cases would send a notification to a specirfic contact. The case has a "component" field, which is a picklist. On the other side, we have a number of contacts and every contacts is assigned to one or more components on a multipicklist.

 

What we want to do is to send an email when a case is closed based on the component of the case, to the contact that has that component selected in the contact's multipicklist.

 

We try to query this way:

 

List<Contact> recipients = [SELECT c.id, c.firstname FROM Contact c WHERE c.RecordTypeId = :contactTypeId.id AND c.eXpertsRelatedComponent__c.Includes (Case Component)];

 

What should be the syntax to such scenario?

 

Any help will be greately appreciated!

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Some changes in SOQL query which are given below

 

List<Contact> recipients = [SELECT c.id, c.firstname FROM Contact c WHERE c.RecordTypeId = :contactTypeId.id AND c.eXpertsRelatedComponent__c  Includes (:strskil)];

 

Note- Assume Case component is the string parameter.

 

You can create the string parameter by referencing the below code

 

public String[] skilVal = new String[]{};  //skilVal contains picklist value

string strskil;

 

for(Integer i=0; i<skilVal.size(); i++)

            {

                if (i == 0)

                {

                    strskil = skilVal[i];

                }

                else

                {

                    strskil = strskil + ';' + skilVal[i];

                }

            }
