Contact object fields returns NULL

Hi All,

I Have a trigger for Contact Object. It sends a HTTP request to external Host. For this request I want to get the, First Name, Last Name and Account Name of that Contact.

In the Contact Object
1. User Name is a combination of PREFIX, FIRST NAME and LAST NAME. 
2. Contact is added under an Account and I want to get the Name of the Account (which was selected when the Contact creation)

This is my Trigger,
 

Contact[] cont = Trigger.new;
    
    for (Contact c :cont){
        myRequestSendingClass.sendRequest(c.Account.Name, c.Name);
    }
I tryied to access the Account name by 
c.Account.Name
And I tried to accress the Contact name (combination) by 
c.Name

But both of them returns NULL.

 

How can I get these values from the Contact object?

Please Help Me. Thankyou in advance.

1. Put a system.debug inside the for loop to print the contact Id. Open the contact in UI and check the correct contact you are passing
2. use the SOQL and Try  
Set<Id> ConId = new Set<Id>
for (Contact c : Trigger.new)
{
       ConId.add(c.id);
}
for (Contact CQuery : select id, name, account.name from contact where id in : ConId)
{
     myRequestSendingClass.sendRequest(CQuery.Account.Name, C.Name);
}

// why this code is you are not querying on Account.Name.
//Just try

Thanks

Hello Sam,

What type is your trigger?
Before insert or update?

I think the same thing as Shaijan, try to get the account and the contact Name in quring them with a SOQL query, it will be easiest.

Let me know if this response help you.
