How to create a note automatically which logs an activity?

Hi,
How to create a note automatically, if a user changes the Shipping or billing address of an Account, which logs this activity, and stores the old value of the Address?

Hi Revathi,

You can write trigger on account which will create note whenever there is an update.

Please see below sample code (make changes according to your requirement) 
trigger insertNote on Account (after insert, after update){

    List<Note> noteList = new List<Note>();

    if(Trigger.isAfter && Trigger.isInsert){

        for(Account a : trigger.new){
            if(a.BillingAddress != null){
                Note newNote = new Note();
                newNote.Title = 'Custom Title';
                newNote.Body = a.BillingAddress;
                newNote.ParentId = a.Id;
                noteList.add(newNote);
            }
        }
    }

    if(Trigger.isAfter && Trigger.isUpdate){
        for(Account a1 : trigger.new){
            if(trigger.oldMap.get(a1.id).notes__c != a1.BillingAddress){
                Note newNote = new Note();
                newNote.Title = 'Custom Title';
                newNote.Body = a1.BillingAddress	;
                newNote.ParentId = a1.Id;
                noteList.add(newNote);
            }
        }
    }


    if(noteList.size() > 0){
        insert noteList;
    }
}

Hope this helps you!
