I am trying to update parent record (Contacts) based on Task
Here is my trigger
trigger updateContactFromTask on Task (before insert, before update)
{
Map<Id,Contact> contactMap = new Map<Id,Contact>();
Set<id> Ids = new Set<id>();
for (Task tk: Trigger.new) {
Ids.add(tk.WhoId);
}
Map<id,Contact> contactMap2 = new Map<id,Contact>([Select Id, Title from Contact Where Id in :Ids]);
for (Task t: Trigger.new)
if(t.CreatedDate!=system.today()&&Contact.LeadSource != NULL)
{
Contact l = contactMap2.get(t.WhoId);
l.LeadSource = 'Test1234';
contactMap.put(l.id,l);
}
update contactMap.values();
}
So my criteria:
if(t.CreatedDate!=system.today()&&Contact.LeadSource != NULL)If Task is created Today and Contact LeadSource Not Equal to NULL, This works and sets a Leadsource value, However when I set the LeadSource to another value Say Web. Trigger still fires for update even it has a value. Perhaps something wrong with my trigger.

You could use Trigger.isInsert to identify that Task is created not update.
trigger updateContactFromTask on Task (before insert, before update) { Map<Id,Contact> contactMap = new Map<Id,Contact>(); Set<id> Ids = new Set<id>(); for (Task tk: Trigger.new) { Ids.add(tk.WhoId); } Map<id,Contact> contactMap2 = new Map<id,Contact>([Select Id, Title from Contact Where Id in :Ids]); for (Task t: Trigger.new) if( Trigger.isInsert ) { if(t.CreatedDate!=system.today()&&Contact.LeadSource != NULL) { Contact l = contactMap2.get(t.WhoId); l.LeadSource = 'Test1234'; contactMap.put(l.id,l); } } // similarly yo could do on update if( Trigger.isUpdate ) { // actions on task udpate } update contactMap.values(); }Thanks

Are you sure that the Contact you are accessing on line 13 is the the Contact associated with WhoId of task? Can you try putting a system.debug to check which Contact record it is referring to?
@Ravi,
Yes, I am sure that the contact is associated with the WhoID creating the task from the Contact record itself.
