This trigger is basically fired on before insert & before update. I am trying to automatically convert lead to Account,Contact & Opportunity. My condition is when an Same Name Lead is inserted then only its other name is updated without creating duplicate lead for the same name & also updating an Opportunity CloseDate to System.Today().

TRIGGER CODE:

trigger UpdateDuplicateRecords on Lead (before insert,before update) { public list<string> LastName = new list<string>(); public list<string> LastName1 = new list<string>(); public set<ID> ids = new set<ID>(); public list<opportunity> newopp = new list<opportunity>(); list<Lead> leads = [select ID,LastName from lead]; system.debug('===>'+leads); for (lead newlead :trigger.new) { LastName.add(newlead.LastName); system.debug('===>'+LastName); ids.add(newlead.id); system.debug('===>'+ids); } for (lead oldlead :leads){ LastName1.add(oldlead.LastName); system.debug('===>'+Lastname1); } if (LastName1 != LastName) { opportunity opp = new opportunity(); opp.closedate = system.today(); leadstatus convertstatus = [select Id,masterlabel from leadstatus where isconverted = true]; for (Lead newlead : trigger.new){ if ((newlead.isConverted==false)) { database.leadconvert lc = new database.leadconvert(); lc.setleadID(NewLead.ID); lc.setConvertedStatus(convertStatus.MasterLabel); database.leadconvertresult lcr = database.convertlead(lc); system.assert(lcr.isSuccess()); system.debug('===>' + lcr); } } } update leads; }

    before insert won't have a Lead.Id field; automatic lead conversion should be done in after triggers Commented Dec 12, 2018 at 18:24

Your issue is on this line:

lc.setleadID(NewLead.ID);

Because the trigger is getting executed on before insert, during the execution, newLead will not have the Id populated. Id for any record is generated only when the record is inserted in the database.

As the setLeadId() method requires a valid Lead Id, you will need to move your logic in after insert trigger to get past this error and set the Id of the Lead that was created.

  • Yes I did that after insert , bt still duplicate leads are inserting. I want to prevent from inserting duplicate lead. I use (LastName.size()>0) to avoid duplicate lead but still has inserting duplicate lead. Commented Dec 13, 2018 at 7:42
  • The question here was around the exception. The answer addresses specifically the exception that you were facing. The way the forum works is if you want to seek further advice around how to avoid duplicates, you should open that as a new question. Commented Dec 13, 2018 at 13:23
