Hi Amit, 


- $Profile.Id  will give the Current user's profile, 

You can have a logic like 

If (

AND (profile id = sales user profile id ,

Email = null ,

HasOptedOutOfEmail = false ,

Stream_Opt_In__c = false ,

Invite_Opt_In__c = false ,

Newsletter_Opt_In__c = false )

)

If this meets the criteria then it will throw the Validation error else will save the record.

Hi Ashish,

Thank you for helping on this.

I have just modified it by removing 'if' according to my requirement. Please let me know if it correct:

AND (
OR
(
$Profile.Id = "sales user profile id",
$Profile.Id = "sales user profile id"
),
Email != null,
HasOptedOutOfEmail = false,
Stream_Opt_In__c = false,
Invite_Opt_In__c = false,
Newsletter_Opt_In__c = false
)

I have created this validation rule on both Contact and Lead object.

Please let me know if I am going wrong anywhere.

Thank you,
Amit

Hi Amit, 


I had given the blue print - your's seem correct to your business logic. 

Try that out and see, in your Dev / Sandbox org input few dummy records and see if that throws the Validation error as expected. 

Reply back if you have any further questions.
