Contact Role on Opportunities related to Person Accounts

I have searched high and low for someone who has done this and have come up empty handed. I find it hard to believe this is not a common issue.

 

As you know, if an Opportunity is added to a Contact, the Contact is automatically added as a Contact Role on that Opportunity. It does not make them the Primary Contact Role or define the Role, but it does add them.

 

If an Opportunity is added to a Person Account, the Contact/Person Account is not automatically added as a Contact Role on the Opportunity. When the Opportunity is created there are no Contacts listed.

 

What I would like to do is to have a trigger that automatically adds the Person Account as a Contact to the Contact Roles when an Opportunity is created under them. I would like for them to be made Primary and a role of Decision Maker. 

 

It seems to me that adding Contact Roles automatically would be more common, but I guess not. Has anyone found a solution to this that they can share? Thank you everyone!

Try using a trigger to do what you want to added and when.

I figured it would need to be a trigger, I was just hoping others had the same problem or need and had a solution or trigger already built. Thanks.
