When to use before insert, before update, after insert and after update in Triggers ? I would like to know in which scenario what to use, since I'm getting confused to use them. Please explain it with an example, so there could be clarity on these.

    Hi AdminBooster,

    Before vs After 

    Basically before triggers are executed before the data is commited to the database .

    You can change the field value in before trigger and need not commit it, salesforce will automatically commit it

    You can validate the record and make a record not available to save in before trigger

    Fields like Id are not accessible in this trigger.

    After Trigger:

    After trigger works after the data is commited to the database

    Fields like Id are accessible in this trigger.

    If changes are made in this trigger , You should manually commit this to the database

    Insert and Update :

    Insert works when a record is inserted while update works when a record is updated .

    Upsert will call both the update and insert trigger

    Thanks and Regards,

    Shiva RV
