UTIL_FormulaContext.AccountContext ​

Class

apex
global inherited sharing class UTIL_FormulaContext.AccountContext implements UTIL_FormulaFilter.INT_SObjectFormulaEvaluationContext

Implements: UTIL_FormulaFilter.INT_SObjectFormulaEvaluationContext

Formula evaluation context for Account object.

Provides typed access to Account records in formula evaluations. The Trigger Action Framework automatically uses this context when EntryCriteriaContextClassName__c is blank on TriggerAction__mdt records for the Account object. This context can also be used directly in custom Apex code for any formula evaluation scenario.

Formula Variable Names:

- `oldRecord` - Account state before DML (null on insert)

- `newRecord` - Account state after DML

Example

apex
// --- Trigger Action Framework Usage ---
// TriggerAction__mdt.EntryCriteriaFormula__c examples:
// newRecord.Type = "Customer"
// newRecord.Industry <> oldRecord.Industry
// AND(newRecord.AnnualRevenue > 1000000, newRecord.Type = "Customer")
// --- Direct Apex Usage (Batch, Validation, Custom Business Rules) ---
FormulaEval.FormulaInstance formula = Formula.builder()
    .withFormula('newRecord.AnnualRevenue > 1000000 && newRecord.Industry = "Technology"')
    .withReturnType(FormulaEval.FormulaReturnType.BOOLEAN)
    .withType(UTIL_FormulaContext.AccountContext.class)
    .build();
UTIL_FormulaContext.AccountContext context = new UTIL_FormulaContext.AccountContext();
for(Account account : accounts)
{
    context.setContext(null, account);
    if((Boolean)formula.evaluate(context))
    {
        // Account matches criteria
    }
}

Fields ​

FieldDescription
global Account newRecordThe Account record state AFTER the DML operation.
global Account oldRecordThe Account record state BEFORE the DML operation.

newRecord ​

apex
global Account newRecord

Type: Account

The Account record state AFTER the DML operation. Contains the record with all field values as they will be saved to the database.

Example

apex
Account value = instance.newRecord;

oldRecord ​

apex
global Account oldRecord

Type: Account

The Account record state BEFORE the DML operation. This property is null during insert operations since no prior record exists. Use oldRecord.Id = null in formulas to detect insert operations.

Example

apex
Account value = instance.oldRecord;
