Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Future method annotated with @future(callout=true) invoked from an after trigger.
Triggers cannot make direct synchronous callouts, so they must invoke an asynchronous mechanism like a future method with callout=true.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Batch Apex execute method without queueing.
Why it's wrong here
Batch Apex is not triggered in real-time by individual record saves.
- ✗
Direct synchronous HTTP callout inside the before insert trigger.
Why it's wrong here
Synchronous callouts from triggers are strictly prohibited and throw an exception.
- ✗
Validation rule containing an endpoint URL.
Why it's wrong here
Validation rules cannot perform web service callouts.
- ✓
Future method annotated with @future(callout=true) invoked from an after trigger.
Why this is correct
Asynchronous future methods with callout=true allow web service requests from triggers safely.
