Insert Record into a custom object through trigger

I want to insert a record into a custom object when a TASK record is created.
Can we acheive this by a trigger ?

You need write a trigger on Task Object. (Task object is object of Activities). 

 

trigger <name> on Task (after insert) {

if(trigger.isinsert)

{

Customobject obj = new CustomObject();

obj.fieldname = 'Value';

insert obj;

}

 

}

Hi

 

Yes you can acheive this with trigger.

Here is example trigger for this:-

 

trigger Createtasks on task (after insert) {

    List<lead__c> createtasks = new List <lead__c> ();
    
    for (task t : trigger.new) {
    
            if (t.subject == 'Email') {
                    createtasks.add(
                    new lead__c ( 
                    Name = t.CreatedBy.Name
                    ,Date__c=system.today()
                    ,Comments__c=t.Description));
            }
    }
    try {
        insert createtasks;
    }
    catch (Exception Ex){
        system.debug(Ex);
    }
}

if(trigger.isinsert)
{
List<Member_Added__c> objList = new List<Member_Added__c>();
Member_Added__c obj = new Member_Added__c();
for(Task T: Trigger.new){
if(((T.RecordTypeId == '01270000000Q9KJ')||(T.RecordTypeId == '012S0000000DIPs')||(T.RecordTypeId == '012V0000000Co5k'))&&(T.Status == 'Completed')){


obj.Text_1__c = T.Text__c;
obj.Text_2__c = T.Detail__c;
obj.Text_3__c = T.Subject;
obj.Text_4__c = T.Description;
if((String.valueof(T.Owner)).substring(0,2)== '005'){
obj.User_1__c = String.valueof(T.OwnerName);
}
String urlForObj= URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl().toExternalForm() + '/'+T.WhatId;
obj.Task_Url__c = urlForObj;
objList.add(obj);
}
}
insert objList;
}


This is not inserting records into the custom object ... any suggestions ?
