{
2. for(Account act: Trigger.New)
{
//code to send email
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage mail = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
String toEmail = "emailid@gmail.com";
String[] toAddresses = new String[] {toEmail};
mail.setToAddresses(toAddresses);
mail.setSubject('New Account is created');
String template = 'Hello {0}, \nNew Account has been Created. Here are the details - \n\n';
template+= 'Account Name- {1}\n';
template+= 'Account Owner - {2}\n';
template+= 'Account Contact - {3}\n';
List args = new List();
args.add(toEmail);
args.add(act.Name);
args.add(act.OwnerId);
args.add(act.AccountNumber);
String formattedHtml = String.format(template, args);
mail.setPlainTextBody(formattedHtml);
Messaging.SendEmail(new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage[] {mail});
}
}
trigger Trigger_Account_Send_Email on Account (after insert)
It gives the trigger a name, specifies the object on which it operates, and defines the events that cause it to fire. For example, this trigger is called NewAccountCreationSendEmail, it operates on the Account object, and runs after new Accounts are inserted into the database.
Second line in the trigger is for loop of Account records referenced by contents of a trigger context variable called Trigger.new. Trigger context variables such as Trigger.new are implicitly defined in all triggers and provide access to the records that caused the trigger to fire. In this case, Trigger.new contains all the new Accounts that are inserted.
for(Account act: Trigger.New)
You can use same trigger before insert,you just have to change parameter on first line from "after insert" to "before insert"
