Vlookup
VLOOKUP() is a function it used in validation, VLOOKUP Function Similar to its Excel
counterpart, the VLOOKUP function lets you use data in another object as a basis for
validation.
Add a Validation Rule on the Employee which checks whether there are any existing
Employee records with the same name if so stop the User from saving it. Here comes
the role of VLOOKUP.
- Currently SalesForce uses Vlookup for validations.
- VLOOKUP can only be done on the Name fields.
- The field_to_return must be an auto number, roll-up summary, lookup relationship,
master-detail relationship, checkbox, date, date/time, email, number,
percent, phone, picklist, text, text area, or URL field type.
- The field_on_lookup_object must be the Record Name field on a custom object.
- The field_on_lookup_object and lookup_value must be the same data type.
REGEX(Regular Expression)
Regex is a regular expression it provide validation. A regular expression (regex) is a special text string for
describing a search pattern in SalesForce. You are probably familiar with wildcard notations such as *.* or *.txt to
find all text files in a file manager. The regex equivalent is .*.txt$.
Character Meaning
$ assert end of string (or line, in multiline mode)
/ general escape character with several uses
^ assert start of string or line, in multiline mode
. match any character except newline
[ start character class definition
] End character class definition
| start of alternative branch
Page 3

( start sub pattern
) end sub pattern
? extends the meaning of , or 0/1 quantifier, or quantifier
minimize
* 0 or more quantifier
+ 1 or more quantifier, also "possessive quantifier"
{ start min/max quantifier
Here the code for Matching String to Email pattern In SalesForce
public static Boolean checkEmailFormat(String regemail) {
String regexemali = '[a-zA-Z0-9.!#$%&*/=?^_+-`
{|}~'._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-.-]+.[a-zA-Z]+';
Pattern MyPattern = Pattern.compile(regexemali);
Matcher MyMatcher = MyPattern.matcher(reegemail);
Boolean result = MyMatcher.matches();
return result;
}
ISCHANGED
ISBLANK(Expression) check whatever an expression an return TRUE or FALSE.
Function Description Use
ISCHANGED Compares the value of a field
to the
previous value and returns
TRUE if the
values are different. If the
values are the
same, this function returns
FALSE.
ISCHANGED(field) and replace
field
with the name of the field you
want to
compare.
Validation Rule Example: The following validation rule prevents users from changing
an object name after it has been created: NOT(ISCHANGED(Name))
NOT(AND(ISCHANGED(Priority), ISPICKVAL(Priority, “Low”))) is a validation rule
that ensures if a user changes the Priority of a case, the new priority cannot be “Low.”
NOT(AND(ISCHANGED(CloseDate), OR(MONTH(CloseDate) <> MONTH(TODAY()),
YEAR(CloseDate) <> YEAR(TODAY())),$Profile.Name <> "IT Manager")) is a
validation rule that prevents a user from changing the Close Date of an opportunity to
a date outside of the current month and year unless that user has the “IT Manager”
profile.
Example :- if you want any costume object close date field should not blank you can go
Step > Create > Objects > Select costume object then find Validation Rules and
click on New button after the you can write formula. then save it.
Page 4

ISNEW
Checks if the formula is running during the creation of a new record and returns TRUE if
it is. If an existing record is being updated, this function returns FALSE.
Validation Rule Example:
Use the following validation rule to prevent users from creating a record with a close
date in the past. AND (ISNEW(), CloseDate < TODAY()) checks if the user is creating a
new opportunity and, if so, ensures that the Close Date is today or after today.
Use this validation rule to ensure users add at least one product to an opportunity after
they have created it.
NOT(OR(ISNEW(),HasOpportunityLineItem))
In this example, the validation rule formula displays the following error message when
an existing opportunity does not have any products: "You must add products to this
opportunity before saving." This does not display an error on the initial save because
they cannot add products until after saving the record initially; but it prevents them
from resaving or closing an opportunity that does not contain products.
Example :- There is you can check is close date not less then to Today date.
Page 5

PRIORVALUE
Function Description Use
PRIORVALUE Returns the previous value of
a field.
PRIORVALUE(field)
Validation Rule Example:
The following validation rule prevents users from changing the expected revenue of an
opportunity after it is closed: AND(PRIORVALUE(Min pay) > Min pay, IsClosed).
parallel approval processes
For Create Parallel Approval Processes first Create costume object (Ex : Emplyee) then
in costume create Drop down (Picklist ) field and give any name then add the values
(IT Manager, HR Manager and Sales Manager, IT Manager & HR Manager, IT
Manager & Sales Manager, HR Manager & Sales Manager , IT Manager & HR
Manager values & Sales Manager)
Example: Entry criteria:- ISPICKVAL(Select __c,"IT Manager")

Dynamic Approval Process using Apex and Trigger in
SalesForce
Dynamic approval process is used to route approval requests to user listed in lookup
fields on the record
requiring approval.
Approval Process, one employee request is approved or rejected is based on his
decision.
but there are 4 or 5 employee wait for same process So in this scenario approval
process default it give dynamic approval.
1- Automatically submit the record for approval on the basis of field value.
2- Automatically select the next Approver.
3- Approve / Reject the record on the basis of field
dynamic submit the approval process using trigger :
public void dynamicApproval(Emplyees emp)
{
// Create an approval request for the Emplyees
Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest req = new Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest();
req.setComments('Submitting request');
req.setObjectId(emp.id);
req.setNextApproverIds(new Id[] {emp.New_Approver__c});
// Submit the approval request for the Emplyees
Approval.ProcessResult result = Approval.process(req);
}
Below method is used to dynamic approve the process using trigger.
public void approveNew(Emplyees emp)
{
Approval.ProcessWorkitemrequest req2 = new
Approval.ProcessWorkitemrequest();
req2.setComments('Approving request using Trigger');
req2.setAction('Approve');
req2.setNextApproverIds(new Id[] {emp.New_Approver__c});
Id EmpID = getEmpID(emp.id);
if(EmpID == null)
{
emp.addError('Error');
}
else
{
req2.setEmpID(EmpID);
Approval.ProcessResult result = Approval.process(req2);

}
}

Outbound Messages as part of an approval process
An outbound message is a workflow, approval, or milestone. An outbound message
sends the data in the specified fields in the form of a SOAP message to the endpoint.
or

Approval Process With Cross-Object Formulas
What are Cross-Object Formulas?
Cross-object formulas are formulas that span two related objects and reference merge
fields on those objects. Cross-object formulas can reference merge fields from a master
(“parent”) object if an object is on the detail side of a master-detail relationship.
