      Hi Pranav,

       

      You can do this with the help of apex and VF page. Here is a sample code you can use and customize as per your requirement.

      Hi Pranav,

      You can do this with the help of apex and VF page. Here is a sample code you can use and customize as per your requirement.

      VF page

      <apex:page controller=”CopyContactsController” tabStyle=”Account”>
      <apex:form id=”theForm”>
      <apex:pageMessages />
      <apex:pageBlock title=”Copy Contacts”>
      Copy Contacts from Account ID <apex:inputText required=”true” value=”{!acc1Id}”/>
      Copy Contacts to Account ID <apex:inputText required=”true” value=”{!acc2Id}”/>

      <apex:pageBlockButtons >
      <apex:commandButton action=”{!copyContacts}” value=”Copy Contacts” reRender=”theForm”/>
      </apex:pageBlockButtons>
      </apex:pageBlock>
      </apex:form>
      </apex:page>

      Controller

      public class CopyContactsController {
      public String acc1Id{get;set;}
      public String acc2Id{get;set;}
      public List conList;

      public CopyContactsController(){}

      public void copyContacts(){
      conList = new List();
      try{
      for(Contact con :[select lastname,email,phone from contact where AccountId =:acc1Id]){
      Contact contoAdd = new Contact(
      LastName = con.LastName,
      AccountId = acc2Id,
      Email = con.Email,
      Phone = con.phone
      );
      conList.add(contoAdd);
      }
      insert conList;
      ApexPages.addmessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.CONFIRM,’Contacts Copied Successfully’));
      }catch(Exception e){
      ApexPages.addmessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.Error,e.getMessage()));
      }
      }
      }
