Too many future calls error on lead conversion trigger, any help appreciated :-)

Hey all, I am pretty new to APEX, and I have built a lead conversion trigger, which is causing a "Too many future calls" error.  Based on my investigation it looks like I need to bulkify the service class that I am calling in the trigger, but I haven't been able to figure out the correct synatx.  Here is the class:

public with sharing class ConvertLeadOnActiveService {
    
    public static void convertLead(list<lead> convertList) {
    
    	for (Lead lead : convertList) {
      		if (lead.isConverted == false && lead.State__c == 'Active'){
       
        	Database.LeadConvert lc = new Database.LeadConvert();
        	lc.setLeadId(lead.Id);
       
     	    String oppName = lead.Company;
        	lc.setOpportunityName(oppName);
       
	        LeadStatus convertStatus = [SELECT Id, MasterLabel FROM LeadStatus WHERE IsConverted=true LIMIT 1];
    	    lc.setConvertedStatus(convertStatus.MasterLabel);
       
       		Database.LeadConvertResult lcr = Database.convertLead(lc);
       		System.assert(lcr.isSuccess());
       
    		}
  	}
    }
}

I am pretty sure that I need to move the following outside of the for loop, but I am not sure how to do it.

         LeadStatus convertStatus = [SELECT Id, MasterLabel FROM LeadStatus WHERE IsConverted=true LIMIT 1];
         lc.setConvertedStatus(convertStatus.MasterLabel);
      
         Database.LeadConvertResult lcr = Database.convertLead(lc);
         System.assert(lcr.isSuccess());

Any help greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

What you will want to do is move both the SOQL query out and the database.convertLead as you said.  You'll want to do something like:

public with sharing class ConvertLeadOnActiveService {
     public static void convertLead(list<lead> convertList) {
          LeadStatus convertStatus = [SELECT Id, MasterLabel FROM LeadStatus WHERE IsConverted=true LIMIT 1];
          List<Database.LeadConvert> leadConverts = new List<Database.LeadConvert>();
          for (Lead lead : convertList) {
               if (lead.isConverted == false && lead.State__c == 'Active'){
                    Database.LeadConvert lc = new Database.LeadConvert();
                    lc.setLeadId(lead.Id);

                    String oppName = lead.Company;
                    lc.setOpportunityName(oppName);
        
                    lc.setConvertedStatus(convertStatus.MasterLabel);
        
                    leadConverts.add(lc);
                 }
         }
          Database.LeadConvertResult lcr = Database.convertLead(leadConverts);
     }
}

     }
}

All you need to do is to create a List<Id> which will hold Id of Lead which you want to convert and then pass that List to your Database class which will convert those Lead in same manner.

Please don't use future or DML,SOQL,describe inside the loop just create a list for the Object let say Account and Contact and insert those list outside the loop to avoid such kind of exception

Please mark my answer as a solution to your question if it solves your problem.

Awesome! Thanks for the help.  I tested the updated code, but I am getting an error on line 18:

"Save error: Illegal assignment from LIST<Database.LeadConvertResult> to Database.LeadConvertResult"

Any suggestions?

Just change line 18 to List<Database.LeadConvertResult> instead of Database.LeadConvertResult

Ah, that makes sense.  Thanks again!
