    // Do your stuff u.firstName = '';

    User u = new User();
    u.lastName = 'Lstname';
    u.ContactId = contactLookup[0].Id;
    u.Username = 'username';
    u.Email = 'email';
    u.CommunityNickname = 'nickname';
    u.Alias = '';

    User u = new user();
    u.LastName = 'Test Code';
    u.Email = 'test@test.com';
    u.Alias = 'Tcode';
    u.Username = 'test1234444@test.com';
    u.CommunityNickname = 'test12';
    u.LocaleSidKey = 'en_US';
    u.TimeZoneSidKey = 'GMT';
    u.profileId = '00e28000001Xsf3';
    u.LanguageLocaleKey = 'en_US';

    Is there is a way to insert unique Nickname user at every time when the user is inserted into my code without using timestamp function?

    Hi Neha,

    Yes, you may use this method to accomplish it.

    public List<string> generateAliasAndNickName(string strToBeGenerated){
    if(strToBeGenerated !='' && strToBeGenerated.contains('.')){
    String[] arrSplitText = strToBeGenerated.split('\\.');
    return arrSplitText;
    }else if(strToBeGenerated !='' && !strToBeGenerated.contains('.')){
    return new List<String>{strToBeGenerated};
    }else{
    return null;
    }
    }
    public boolean validateIsDuplicateNickName(String strNickname){
    List<User> lstExistingUser = new List<User>();
    if(strNickname != null && strNickname != ''){
    lstExistingUser = [select id,communityNickname from User where communityNickname =:strNickname];
    }
    if(lstExistingUser != null && !lstExistingUser.isEmpty()){
    return true;
    }
    else
    return false;
    }

    and whenever it found a duplicate, concatenate the Nickname string with +1 increment.

    hope it helps 🙂

    Hi,

    It is possible to create community user from apex by putting contactid while creating user.

    following us pseudo for the same

    User u = new user();
    u.LastName = ‘Test Code’;
    u.Email = ‘test@test.com’;

    u.ContactId = contact.Id;
    u.Alias = ‘Tcode’;
    u.Username = ‘test11@test.com’;
    u.CommunityNickname = ‘test123’;
    u.LocaleSidKey = ‘en_US’;
    u.TimeZoneSidKey = ‘GMT’;
    u.profileId = ’00e28000001ZWE4′;
    u.LanguageLocaleKey = ‘en_US’;
    u.EmailEncodingKey = ‘UTF-8’;
    insert u;

    Hi,

    Yes, you can create community  user through apex, just remember community user has extra field contactId which is required.

    Hope this helps.
