Usage

To edit, save, or compile an Apex trigger, create an ApexTriggerMember object that references it. To create a trigger, use REST API or the Metadata API.

Apex triggers and classes are often dependent on each other for functionality. For example, a method in one class can call a method in another class. If source file A is dependent on modified source file B and you try to save and compile source file A before you’ve saved the changes to source file B, the compiler throws an error. To successfully save and compile a group of related source files, put the corresponding ApexTriggerMember and ApexClassMember objects in a single MetadataContainer object. Use ContainerAsyncRequest to send the MetadataContainer to the application server.

Each ApexTriggerMember object can only refer to a single MetadataContainer object. Multiple ApexTriggerMember objects can refer to the same MetadataContainer object.
