I followed this tutorial and was wondering if there are anymore examples that could expand on the callouts.  I was wondering if there was a way to send out the actual ID and Name of the new account that is created.  The trigger:

//This is the trigger from the tutorial that sends calls the APEX class AccountUpdater //as you can see it sends the ID and the Name of the account trigger descriptionUpdater on Account (after insert) { System.debug('Making future call to update account'); for (Account acc : Trigger.New) { //Call future method to update account //with data from external server. //This is a async calls, it returns right away, after //enqueuing the request. AccountUpdater.updateAccount(acc.Id, acc.Name); } }

This sends the ID and NAME of the account to the AccountUpdater class

The class creates the web service call to a local server I have and it works perfectly.

//This is the class from the tutorial that processes the ID and Name //and set's up the http request public class AccountUpdater { //Future annotation to mark the method as async. @Future(callout=true) public static void updateAccount(String id, String name) { //construct an HTTP request HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest(); req.setEndpoint('http://mapsdev.maxim-ic.com/data.php'); req.setMethod('GET'); //send the request Http http = new Http(); HttpResponse res = http.send(req); //check the response if (res.getStatusCode() == 200) { //update account Account acc = new Account(Id=id); acc.Description = res.getBody(); update acc; } else { System.debug('Callout failed: ' + res); } } }

What I was wondering if there is a way to actually send out the ID and/or name of the account that was created in the http request method in APEX

Thanks and I hope this makes sense!!
