Sql instead of insert trigger - insert data if does not exist - sql

Question

I have the following trigger on a table that redirects data and includes data from two other tables based on a LEFT OUTER JOIN.
If i.ndl_DeviceID does not exist in BBOwnerMap then that column will be null which is fine.
What I want to do is, if i.ndl_DeviceID does not exist in BBOwnerMap then i want to insert it into there and return the resulting autonumber BBOwnerMap.OwnerID
Trigger is as follows:-
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[Redirect]
ON [dbo].[ndl_dump]
instead of insert
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO ndl_data
(ndl_Image,ndl_Text,ndl_Lat,ndl_Lng,ndl_CategoryID,ownerID)
SELECT i.ndl_Image,
i.ndl_Text,
i.ndl_Lat,
i.ndl_Lng,
ndl_config.ndl_CategoryID,
BBOwnerMap.OwnerID
FROM inserted i
LEFT OUTER JOIN
ndl_config
ON i.ndl_Category = ndl_config.ndl_CategoryName
LEFT OUTER JOIN
BBOwnerMap
ON i.ndl_DeviceID = BBOwnerMap.DeviceID
END
BBOwnerMap table is like this:-
[dbo].[BBOwnerMap](
[OwnerID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[DeviceID] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
[DeviceNumber] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_BBOwnerMap] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
Any help on how to modify this would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

You should be able to just add another insert statement at the top of your trigger. Always remember that the inserted table can have more than one row, so you are dealing with sets, not rows. Code assumes SQL Server. I like LEFT JOINs that don't find matches, but you could do the same with a NOT EXISTS where clause:
Insert into bbownermap (deviceid, devicenumber)
Select i.ndl_DeviceID, <deviceNum>
From inserted i
Left join bbownermap b on i.deviceid=b.deviceid
Where b.ownerid is Null
