Cross Object Trigger Update

Hello All!

I am trying to find a way when a task is marked as "complete", that the lead status is automatically updated to "L3 - In Dialogue". Any ideas??


Thanks!

Good day, Ross! 

If the Task relates to a Lead, you should have a value in the WhoId column.  If you are using TaskWhoRelations, you may have TaskWhoIds.  In either case, you can find the Lead through the related WhoId and update its Status field appropriately.  Are you comfortable with Triggers?

Hey Kevin!

Thanks for getting back. 

I know some about Triggers, however still learning. Is there anything you would recommend?

Thanks!

Use an after insert, after update trigger and loop through each Task in Trigger.New.  In your IF condition, you can check for Status == "Completed" as well as WhoId != null and Who.Type == 'Lead'.  If all three conditions are met, add Lead defined by WhoId to List or Set that you later use to update Leads in bulk.  This way, you can handle multiple Tasks completed at same time as well as imported/created tasks with status already set to complete.
