Lesson: 56 | Automatically Create Multiple Contact Records Based on Number of Contacts Specified on Account Object

User Story

As a sales representative for ABC Company, I want to be able to quickly create multiple Contact records for each new Account record, based on the number of contacts specified in a "Number of Contacts" field on the Account Object. To achieve this, I would like the system to automatically create a corresponding number of Contact records whenever a new Account record is created or updated. This will help me save time and ensure that all necessary records are created in a timely and accurate manner.

Code

Apex Trigger

trigger CreateMultipleContacts on Account (after insert, after update) {
    List<Contact> newContacts = new List<Contact>();
    for (Account newAccount : Trigger.new) {
        if (newAccount.Number_of_Contacts__c > 0) {
            Integer numberOfContacts = newAccount.Number_of_Contacts__c;
            for (Integer i = 0; i < numberOfContacts; i++) {
                Contact newContact = new Contact();
                newContact.LastName = newAccount.Name;
                newContact.AccountId = newAccount.Id;
                newContacts.add(newContact);
            }
        }
    }
    insert newContacts;
}
