Salesforce - Covid19 Corona integration to get country status

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a new virus.

The disease causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as a cough, fever, and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing. You can protect yourself by washing your hands frequently, avoiding touching your face, and avoiding close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with people who are unwell.
In this post, we will integrate to get live data to display in salesforce for affecting country with their statistics.

Basic Trigger examples

Basic Trigger examples

 Populate contact description when user creates contact

trigger ContactBeforeInsert on Contact (before insert) {
// Trigger.New hold new version of Contacts
for(Contact contact: Trigger.new){
contact.Description = ‘Contact created successfully by using ContactBeforeInsert trigger’;
}
// No Need to write DML statement, trigger. New will be take care.
}

Populate contact description with modified user name when user updates contact.

trigger ContactBeforeUpdate on Contact (before update) {
// Trigger.New hold new version of Contacts
for(Contact contact: Trigger.new){
contact.Description = ‘Contact updated successfully by ‘+ userInfo.getUserName() ;
}
// No Need to write DML statement, trigger. New will be take care.
}

 How to write a trigger to inject the above 2 scenarios in one trigger

trigger ContactBeforeInsertUpdate on Contact (before insert, before update) {
// Trigger.New hold new version of Contacts
for(Contact contact: Trigger.new){
if(trigger.isInsert){
contact.Description = ‘Contact created successfully by using ContactBeforeInsert trigger’;
}
If(trigger.isUpdate){
contact.Description = ‘Contact updated successfully by ‘+ userInfo.getUserName() ;
}
}
// No Need to write DML statement, trigger. New will be take care.
}

Throw an error whenever the user try to delete the contact which is not associated to account

trigger contactBeforeDelete on Contact(before delete){
for(Contact contact: trigger.old){
if(contact.accountId == null){
contact.addError(“Hey! You are not authorized to perform this action.”);
}
}
}

when the leads are inserted into the data base it would add Doctor prefixed for all lead names. This is applicable for both inserting and updating the lead records

trigger PrefixDoctor on Lead (before insert,before update)

{

 List<Lead> leadList = trigger.new;

 for(Lead l: leadList)

 {

 l.firstname = 'Dr.'+ l.firstname;

 }

 }

The following trigger adds the Opportunity Owner into the sales team automatically whenever the Opportunity is created.

trigger OppTeam on Opportunity (after insert) {

 List<OpportunityShare> sharesToCreate = new List<OpportunityShare>();

 List<OpportunityTeamMember> oppteam = new List<OpportunityTeamMember

 > ();

 OpportunityShare oshare = new OpportunityShare();

 oshare.OpportunityAccessLevel = 'Edit';

 oshare.OpportunityId = trigger.new”0”.Id;

 oshare.UserOrGroupId = trigger.new”0”.createdbyid;

 sharesToCreate.add(oshare);

 OpportunityTeamMember ot = new OpportunityTeamMember();

 ot.OpportunityId = trigger.new”0”.Id;

 ot.UserId = trigger.new”0”.OwnerId;

 ot.TeamMemberRole = 'Account Manager';

 oppteam.add(ot);

 if(Oppteam!=null && Oppteam.size()>0)

 {

 insert Oppteam;

 }

 if(sharesToCreate!=null && sharesToCreate.size()>0)

 {

 list<Database.SaveResult> sr = Database.insert(sharesToCreate,false);

}

 }

Create “Sales Rep” field with data type (Text) on the Account Object. When we create the Account record, the Account Owner will be automatically added to Sales Rep field. When we update the Account owner of the record, then also the Sales Rep will be automatically updated.

triggerUpdateSalesRep on Account (Before insert,Before Update){



 Set<Id>setAccOwner=new Set<Id>();



 for(Account Acc: trigger.new)



 {



 setAccOwner.add(Acc.OwnerId);



 }



 Map<Id,User>User_map = new Map<Id,User>(“select Name from User where id



 in:setAccOwner”);



 for(Account Acc: Trigger.new)



 {



 User usr=User_map.get(Acc.OwnerId);



 Acc.sales_Rep1__c=usr.Name;



 }



 }

LightningOut in Salesforce

Expose Lightning component outside of lightning/salesforce

We can expose any component to outside of salesforce(it may be PHP/Wordpress/Sharepoint) or to classic VF page with usage of lightning Out.

We will directly jump to code and will see how to setup this.

Lets create a Component which you want to expose to VF page.

Component :LightningDataTableExample.cmp

<aura:component controller="AccountDataTableController" implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId" access="global" > <aura:attribute type="Account[]" name="acctList"/> <aura:attribute name="mycolumns" type="List"/> <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.fetchAcc}"/> <lightning:datatable data="{! v.acctList }" columns="{! v.mycolumns }" keyField="id" hideCheckboxColumn="true"/> </aura:component>

Add apex controller for the component 

public class AccountDataTableController { @AuraEnabled public static List <Account> fetchAccounts() { //Qyery 10 accounts List<Account> accList = [SELECT Id, Name, BillingState, Website, Phone, Industry, Type from Account LIMIT 10]; //return list of accounts return accList; } }

Lets add controller code for the component

({
    fetchAcc : function(component, event, helper) {
        helper.fetchAccHelper(component, event, helper);
    }
})

Lets add helpercode for the component

({ fetchAccHelper : function(component, event, helper) { component.set('v.mycolumns', [ {label: 'Account Name', fieldName: 'Name', type: 'text'}, {label: 'Industry', fieldName: 'Industry', type: 'text'}, {label: 'Phone', fieldName: 'Phone', type: 'Phone'}, {label: 'Website', fieldName: 'Website', type: 'url '} ]); var action = component.get("c.fetchAccounts"); action.setParams({ }); action.setCallback(this, function(response){ var state = response.getState(); if (state === "SUCCESS") { component.set("v.acctList", response.getReturnValue()); } }); $A.enqueueAction(action); } })

Add this component in Page and it will look like below

Now lets expose this component in classic VF page. To achieve this we wil luse lightning out with lightning dependency app

Create a new Lightning app with below code to expose the component to app

App:LoutDataTableApp.app

<aura:application extends="ltng:outApp" access="GLOBAL">
<aura:dependency resource="c:LightningDataTableExample"/>
</aura:application>

Lets create a vf page and display this component in VF page.

Vf Page: LODataTable.vfp

<apex:page >
    <apex:includeLightning />   
    <div id="LcDisplayId"></div>     
 <script>     
    $Lightning.use("c:LoutDataTableApp", function() {      
    $Lightning.createComponent("c:LightningDataTableExample",
    {
       
  },
   "LcDisplayId",
    function(component) {
        
    });
 });
 </script>
</apex:page>

Lets see the same Lightning component in classic VF page

Macro Examples

 We have already discussed about Macro and its best practice to use. Lets check out few implementation of macro.

Add and Replace Field Values in a Case Using Macros

lets assume our support agent always need to repeat a task such as updating/replacing a  field value in a record. instead of click on edit button then change the field value and then save which need so much interactions with systems and obviously it consumes some time.

 Lets write a small macro for this which will perform all task on a single click with peace of mind.

Steps:
1. Create a macro
2. Add instructions  as below
 - click on Add instruction 
- first instruction tells on which object this macro to work on, select Active case tab
- next instruction tells the macros which action in case feed publisher to interact with, select "Select Email actions"
-  next what to do with Email actions, Select replace subject , and in text field write the subject line.
- add another instruction to add a specific email in CC address.
- add one instruction to replace BCC address.
 - select submit action and save macro 

Now you can open the case for which you want to execute this macro and go to macro widget select this macro click on run .
