    Yes we can invoke. But make sure you are not crossing the governing limits.

    The current limit for concurrent batch jobs is 5.

    Yes, you can call the batch class using trigger but there must be a governor limit. And you need to ensure it does not cross the governor limit.

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

    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.

    Hope this helps!
