Update Account field when related Case is closed

[DenverDon]

Hello,

Newbie question...

I need to update an Account date field ("Last_QA_Audit") when a Case related to that Account (via Contact) is closed, but only when that case is a particular record type. Does anyone have a snippet to share to get me started? Thank you!

you need to write a triiger on case object that will update the Account's Field info.

like

set<id> setAccountIds=new set<Id>();

trigger CaseTriggers on Account (after update) {

for(Case ObjCase:Trigger.new){

 if(ObjCase.Status='Closed' && ObjCase.AccountId!=null){

setAccountIds.add(ObjCase.AccountId);

}

}

Account[] updateAccount=[Select Id,Last_QA_Audit from Account where id:insetAccountIds];

for(Account acc: updateAccount){

acc.Last_QA_Audit=system.today();

}

update updateAccount;

}

//Add Record Type in above trigger logic . Please see above sample code. Also update Field API accordingly.
