Apex Trigger Bypass And Killswitch Patterns

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: automation  ·  Last updated:
Runtime mechanisms to disable Apex triggers without commenting out code: Custom Metadata kill switches via Trigger_Setting__mdt, Custom Permission gates via FeatureManagement.checkPermission, Hierarchy Custom Settings, and TriggerControl static-state bypass for nested operations. NOT for recursive-trigger-prevention (use apex-recursive-trigger-prevention) — bypass disables a handler intentionally; recursion guards prevent the same handler from re-entering itself.

From the source SKILL.md

Activate when an Apex trigger needs to be disabled at runtime — for a data load, a one-off support rerun, an integration user, or as a break-glass kill switch during an incident — without commenting out code or hot-patching the org. This skill is distinct from apex-recursive-trigger-prevention: recursion prevention stops a handler from re-entering itself; bypass stops a handler from running at all in a chosen scope.
