Get Record Type ID Using Object Name
We can get the Object Record Type Id values in multiple ways like using SOQL, getDescribSObject and below are some examples:
Example 1:
//Replace Object Name (API Name) and Record Type Name (Record Type API)
private static Id businessAccountRecTypeId = null;
private static Id getEventRecodTypeId() {
if (businessAccountRecTypeId == null) {
businessAccountRecTypeId = Schema.SObjectType.Account.getRecordTypeInfosByDeveloperName().get(‘Business_Account’).getRecordTypeId(); //Business_Account RecordType API value from Account Object
}
return businessAccountRecTypeId;
}
Example 2:
//Replace Object Name (API Name) and Record Type Name (Not Record Type API)
Id businessAccountRecTypeId = Schema.SObjectType.Account.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get(‘Business Account’).getRecordTypeId();
Example 3:
