    Hii Anjali,

    There is not a specific problem encountered while calling a batch from a trigger. But there are few limitations that we should keep in mind which calling the batch class. For instance, we can only have 5 batch jobs queued or executing at once. So we should be aware of the potential limits. If our trigger calls batch jobs each time, then we could quickly exceed that limit.

    hi anjali,

    You can call a batch from a trigger, but you need to be aware of potential limits you could hit.

    You can only have 5 batch jobs queued or executing at once. If your trigger calls batch jobs each time, then you could quickly exceed that limit.

    future method call that performs more processing on the same record(s). The issue is that this entire process becomes recursive in nature and you receive the error "System.AsyncException: Future method cannot be called from a future method.

    Hello,

    Thanks.
