Triggers
As you learned in the last chapter, Apex code can be used in classes or in triggers. A trigger is a block of Apex code that executes in response to a particular type of change in a record’s data.
Triggers are directly linked to the records in an object so that a trigger fires whenever a record is affected—whether that record is accessed by a standard Force Platform page, a Visualforce page, or through the Web Services API. Once you define logic in a trigger, you can be sure that logic is always executed in response to the appropriate type of change in the records for its object.
