Create Salesforce Apex Triggers with AI

Triggers are the most dangerous Salesforce customization — a bad trigger can block every save on an object. Bulkification mistakes cause data loss at scale. SF Agent generates triggers with the handler pattern, recursion prevention, and thorough test coverage.

Manual
1-4 hours
With SF Agent
~4 min

The Manual Way

  1. 1Decide trigger context (before insert, after update, etc.)
  2. 2Write the trigger with proper bulkification (iterate Trigger.new)
  3. 3Create a handler class to keep logic out of the trigger body
  4. 4Handle recursion prevention (static flags or framework)
  5. 5Write test class covering all trigger contexts
  6. 6Test with bulk records (200+ in a single transaction)
  7. 7Deploy trigger + handler + test together

With SF Agent

  1. 1Describe what should happen and when (before save, after insert, etc.)
  2. 2SF Agent generates trigger + handler class + test class
  3. 3Bulk-safe patterns and recursion guards included
  4. 4All three files deploy together in one atomic operation

Example

You type:

“After an Opportunity is closed-won, create a Project__c record with the same name, account, and amount. Prevent duplicate projects if the trigger re-fires.”

SF Agent generates:
  • ✓Trigger: OpportunityProjectTrigger (after insert, after update)
  • ✓Handler: OpportunityProjectHandler.cls (bulk-safe, recursion guard)
  • ✓Test Class: OpportunityProjectHandlerTest.cls (90%+ coverage)
  • ✓Scenarios: single close, bulk close, re-fire prevention, stage revert
