Best Practices For Writing a Trigger in Salesforce org

Triggers are very useful automation code based tool to perform easy to complex logic in a Salesforce org.

Here are 5 points to keep in mind when writing a trigger.

1) Each object should have only one trigger.

2) Refrain from using SOQL queries or DML statements within FOR loops.

3) Utilize collections for executing DML statements, instead of individual records per statement.

4) Simplify trigger logic by using a trigger handler instead of embedding complex logic directly in triggers.

5) Ensure triggers are "bulkified" to efficiently process up to 200 records in each call.

6) Avoid hardcoding record IDs within the code.

7) Naming convention within the Trigger code should align with the business model.
