🚀 Smart Bypass Logic in Salesforce – No More Manual Disabling!

 🚀 Smart Bypass Logic in Salesforce – No More Manual Disabling!

Manually disabling validation rules, triggers, or flows for testing or data migration? ❌ Not ideal. Instead, use Hierarchy Custom Settings to selectively bypass automations without compromising governance!

🔹 The Smarter Approach:

✅ Step 1: Create a Hierarchy Custom Setting (e.g., Automation_Control__c) with fields like:
✔ Bypass_Triggers__c
✔ Bypass_Validations__c

✅ Step 2: Modify Validation Rules to check the setting before execution:

AND(NOT($Setup.Automation_Control__c.Bypass_Validations__c), ISNEW())

✅ Step 3: Use a Utility Class in Apex Triggers for dynamic control:

public class BypassUtility {
    public static Boolean isTriggerBypassed() {
        Automation_Control__c setting = Automation_Control__c.getInstance(UserInfo.getUserId());
        return setting != null && setting.Bypass_Triggers__c;
    }
}

🔹 Trigger Implementation Example:

trigger AccountTrigger on Account (before insert) {
    if (BypassUtility.isTriggerBypassed()) return;
    // Trigger logic here
}

💡 Why Use This?

✔ No need to deactivate automations manually.
✔ Control bypass at user/profile level.
✔ Ensures data governance while simplifying admin tasks.
