Join means that you have created two master-detail or lookup fields on the JOIN object. While writing the trigger on the join object you can easily access the id of the account and the contact records which are related through the JOIN record. So you can query like this

 

Select Id, Account__c, Contact__c from Join__c where id in Trigger.new etc...

I would need to know the api names of the fields that you have created on the Join object and the api name of the join object itself.

Hi,

 

You can't do this using trigger. Instead, use a workflow rule.
