Code to connect modules

Code to connect modules

Hello,

In our opportunity module, it's possible to create benchmarks, which is another module. There are a few things we want to do with these modules.

1. Once a benchmark is created we would like the contact for the module to be automatically updated with the contact from the corresponding opportunity.
2. We would also like the opportunity state to be automatically put to 50% once a benchmark is created for that opportunity.

I believe this is possible with a custom function or two but am a little confused on what exactly the code would be. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance!

This week, it's going to be about automatically giving a custom Deal name whenever a lead is converted. Business scenario Deals are the most important records in CRM. After successful prospecting, the sales cycle is followed by deal creation, follow-up, and its subsequent closure. Being a critical function of your sales cycle, it's good to follow certain best practices. One such

                                                              Problem: We use quotes which convert to sales orders but Users / Sales Reps do not create opportunities / deals and go straight to creating a quote. This leads to poor reporting. Implementing this solution improves reporting and makes it easier for users.
