Get record ID when trigger fires!

Hey Guys,

 

Trying  to get my head around apex triggers, would appreciate some help:

 

To create a specific product after opportunity is created, but I can't get the id.

 

My Code:

 

 

trigger AddProduct on Opportunity (after insert) {    OpportunityLineItem bLineItem = new OpportunityLineItem();                    bLineItem.quantity = 1;                    bLineItem.UnitPrice = 100.00;                    bLineItem.Opportunityid = ???????????;                    bLineItem.pricebookentryid = '01uT0000000vtvnIAA';         Insert bLineItem;}
 
I want to insert the ID from a newly created opportunity.
 
Thanks

Hi Rumdumdum,
I think this code may help you get what you're after. It's bulkified to handle batch inserts of Opportunities too. Based on your code, I'm assuming that you want to add a specific product to each Opp after the Opp is created. 
 
 
trigger Opportunity on Opportunity (after insert) {
	//Create a List to hold Opp Line Items to be inserted
	List<OpportunityLineItem> blineItems = new List<OpportunityLineItem>();
	//use for loop to iterate through all opportunities in trigger
		for(Opportunity o : trigger.new){
			//add an Opp Line Item for each Opportunity, using o.Id to relate the OLI to the Opp.
			blineItems.add(new OpportunityLineItem(quantity = 1,                   
			UnitPrice = 100.00,
			OpportunityId = o.Id,
			//not good to use a static ID...but that's a topic for another post            
			pricebookentryid = '01uT0000000vtvnIAA'));
		}
		insert blineItems;
}

The newly created opportunity will be in trigger.new (list).  You should be aware that your trigger may get called for >1 record, so you need to ensure you can handle bulk changes if you plan to use it in this way.
