Kyle Armstrong Compile Error: Initial term of field expression must be a concrete SObject: List<String>
I'm working with incoming leads from vendors via email. I'm trying to have the lead associated with the correct campaign name, but am getting the error "Compile Error: Initial term of field expression must be a concrete SObject: List<String> at line 33 column 28." I have made the line in question bold and italics.
global class CreateLeadFromEmail implements Messaging.InboundEmailHandler {
global Messaging.InboundEmailResult HandleInboundEmail(Messaging.InboundEmail email, Messaging.InboundEnvelope env) {
// Create an InboundEmailResult object for returning the result of the
// Apex Email Service
String campaignName;
Messaging.InboundEmailResult result = new Messaging.InboundEmailResult();
String convertToPlainText= '';
// Add the email plain text into the local variable
convertToPlainText = email.plainTextBody;
System.debug('Email Content: ' + convertToPlainText);
//check if the incoming email Lead has an email address
if(email.plainTextBody != ''){
String[] emailBody = email.plainTextBody.split('\n', 0);
System.Debug(emailBody);
String LeadEmail = emailBody[6].substringAfter(': ').trim();
if(String.isNotBlank(LeadEmail)){
Integer leadCount = [select count() from Lead where Email =: LeadEmail];
List<Lead> leadList = [SELECT Id,status FROM Lead WHERE Email = : LeadEmail];
System.debug('Lead count from the existing Lead with the requested emailId -'+ leadCount);
//if (leadList.size() == 0 || leadList.size() > 1) {
try{
//Create new Lead as it does not exist
Lead createNewLead = new Lead();
//Set the Lead object values from the email body
createNewLead = CreateOrUpdateLead(createNewLead, emailBody);
System.debug('Before Lead insert');
insert createNewLead;
System.debug('After Lead insert');
system.debug('Inserted Lead Id = '+ createNewLead.Id);
//Add the Lead to the correct campaign
if(emailBody.subject = 'Life Insurance Lead'){
campaignName = 'The Lead Guys';
}
else if (emailBody.subject == 'New Webform Lead Notification'){
campaignName = 'Get Seen Media';
}
Campaign campaignId = [Select id from Campaign where name =: campaignName];
CampaignMember leadCampaignMember = new CampaignMember(campaignid = campaignId.id, leadid = createNewLead.Id);
insert leadCampaignMember;
System.debug('New Lead record: ' + createNewLead );
}
Please remove <i><b> tags from line no. 33 and then try to save.
@sumit singh 37 - I tried replacing line 33 of code with what you recommended, but I then get an error at line 33 column 41.
You will have to write email.subject instead of writing emailBody.subject at both line 33 and 36 since subject is a property of email.
That specific error was taken care of, but now I receive error: Compile Error: Condition expression must be of type Boolean at line 33 column 25.
Thank you,
Kyle
use if(emailBody[0].subject == 'Life Insurance Lead') give the appropriate index number
Please use == instead of single = in the condition.
emailBody is a Array of String. So you cannot use emailBody.subject directly. You need to specify index in array. Try below code:
if (emailBody[0].subject = 'Life Insurance Lead') { campaignName = 'The Lead Guys'; } else if (emailBody[0].subject == 'New Webform Lead Notification') { campaignName = 'Get Seen Media'; }Thanks,Himanshu
Use below mentioned code snippet as a replacement from line no 33 to 38, it may solve your problem:
if (email.subject == 'Life Insurance Lead') { campaignName = 'The Lead Guys'; } else if (email.subject== 'New Webform Lead Notification') { campaignName = 'Get Seen Media'; }
