    Hello Avnish,

    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.

    Hi,

    Yes but it is not the best practice, there are limits in salesforce, so better is to change your logic and try something else.

    Hope this helps.

    Yes you can call the batch class but salesforce have some governor limits and if you call trigger using batch it hits the limit.
