Using trigger,Preventing duplicate email ID in lead
I have a created two custom fields in lead called Alternate email1, Alternate email2 .
My scenario is to show an alert message for the duplicate email while inserting or updating the record. For e.g. if X@gmail.com exist in EmailID(Standard field) in a lead then it should not be allowed to be entered as Email or alternate email ids(Custom field) of other lead and the vice versa.
At the same time while inserting the record in lead , the email id mention in Email,Alternate email1, Alternate email2 field should be different otherwise it should through an alert message.
Can anyone help me out to solve this.
trigger leadDuplicate on Lead (before insert, before update) { Map<String, Lead> leadMap = new Map<String, Lead>(); for (Lead lead : System.Trigger.new) { if ((lead.Email != null) && (System.Trigger.isInsert || (lead.Email != System.Trigger.oldMap.get(lead.Id).Email))) { if ((leadMap.containsKey(lead.Email)) || (leadMap.containsKey(lead.Alternate_Email1__c)) || (leadMap.containsKey(lead.Alternate_Email_2__c))) { lead.Email.addError('Another new lead has the ' + 'same email address.'); } else { leadMap.put(lead.Email, lead); leadMap.put(lead.Alternate_Email1__c, lead); leadMap.put(lead.Alternate_Email_2__c, lead); } } } for (Lead lead : [SELECT Email,Alternate_Email_2__c,Alternate_Email1__c FROM Lead WHERE ((Email IN :leadMap.KeySet()) or (Alternate_Email_2__c IN :leadMap.KeySet()) or (Alternate_Email1__c IN :leadMap.KeySet()))] ) { Lead newLead = leadMap.get(lead.Email); Lead.Email.addError('A lead with this email ' + 'address already exists.'); } }Thanks In Advance
Line 11 is not going to find an email address in leadMap.containsKey(...).
