Email Domain Lookup

[ferbguy]

I have a requirement to assign Leads created via Email/WebForm to a specific user based on the Email Domain.

For example:
There is an Account A with Contacts whose email address are of the format: abz@company.com.

Now, If a new Lead gets created whose email address is xyz@company.com, Assign the Assigned User of Account A to this Lead.

I could do a findOne() where emailAddress LIKE (*company.com) on Contact table.

Has anyone done anything of this sorts?

I was wondering if there was a better way to achieve this.

Any ideas are welcome. Thank you!

Hello,


I’ve done something similar by building a custom controller/api action to use as a web-to-lead url where all the incoming leads would be assigned directly to a user.

but seems like you could solve your issue by using a simple hook.

I love hooks, but i think for this you can even use formulas

Yes, you are right, much easier to accomplish with Formulas
