I have been tasked to build an API that will update Salesforce account records with data in Beauhurst, when the salesforce record has a CH number. 

I was thinking a daily mass update using BULK and the schedular class, but would also like the option for the user to click a button on a single account record page, to update that account record only. - I guess this is another REST api, totally seperate to the daily one?

I've not built an API from scratch before, is there anything I need to be aware of using bulk?

Thank you!

I am trying to write a trigger on Account that is essentially a rollup of related records on the Contact level. Not the most confident with apex so just looking for some guidance.. 

I have created it from the Event Reg object and have a for soql loop to get all Event Reg records, including the Contact and Contacts AccountId, but am stuck at what to do now. 

Any help would be much appreciated!

I have tried t put together a batch class to update parent Account records with credit scores.. I need to make 2 list variables public so I am able to access them in the finish global batch method, how would I do this? I get errors all lines in the finish method...

I am trying to write a batch job that will take values from one field (if another date field falls in the previous month) and populate a new field on the same object, account. However I am getting the error: Variable does not exist: lastRefreshedDate (it is probably something really simple - not the most confident person in Apex). Thanks

Hi,

I am developing a Send Email Module to add some more functionality. I have a Rich text area to show selected template body.

<apex:inputtextarea richtext="true" value="{!body}" id="body"/>  

{!body} is string property.  Suppose Template is as below :

Dear {!Contact.FirstName}, I really enjoyed speaking with you today. I think that {!Organization.Name} has a lot to offer {!Account.Name} and I look forward to our next meeting.Regards, {!User.FirstName}

 When I edit template body to :

Dear {!Contact.FirstName}, I really enjoyed speaking with you today. I think that {!Organization.Name} has a lot to offer {!Account.Name} and I look forward to our next meeting.

Waiting for you reply.

Regards, {!User.FirstName}

 then in controller I get template with HTML tags

Dear {!Contact.FirstName}, I really enjoyed speaking with you today. I think that {!Organization.Name} has a lot to offer {!Account.Name} and I look forward to our next meeting. 
<br/>
Waiting for you reply.
<br/>
Regards, {!User.FirstName}

 Can anyone help me to resolve this? Trying hard to avoid html tags but no success :(

We've been struggling with getting a zipped static resource to work for weeks now. We got Salesforce Support involved from the beginning, but they've gotten us nowhere. If we can't get a resolution to this issue soon, we might just find a platform that wastes less of our time...

Here is the situation - we are trying to upload a portion of the YUI library as a static resource, but no matter what we try, we can't get the files to render in our VisualForce pages. Salesforce Support can get it to work (sometimes), but we can't. The difference seems to be around the MIME Type that is set when the file is uploaded. When we upload the file, it gets set to a MIME Type of 'application/zip', but when SFDC Support uploads the file, it gets set to a MIME Type of 'application/x-zip-compressed' or 'application/octet-stream'. Salesforce can't explain to us exactly why or how these different MIME Types get set. They're looking into why our uploads don't work, but I'm not expecting much from them at this point.

To reproduce our steps:
