Email Triggers, Obey Database.Dmloptions.Emailheader?

Hi, I'm using Triggers to send out emails on "AfterUpdate", however I'd like the trigger to obey the DML options:

 

dml.EmailHeader.triggerUserEmail
dml.EmailHeader.triggerOtherEmail
dml.EmailHeader.triggerAutoResponseEmail

 

 

I figured it'd be as easy as an if statement making sure those variables are true, however I can't seem to find a way to read these variables, only set them. Is there any way to do this?

 

My first thought was to try the below, however it returned null:

 

 

Database.DMLOptions dml = new Database.DMLOptions();
System.debug(Logginglevel.info,dml.EmailHeader.triggerUserEmail);

Then for kicks, I tried:

 

System.debug(Logginglevel.info,Database.DMLOptions.EmailHeader);

 That didn't work either.

 

Any pointers? Is this possible?

 

Thanks in advance!,

Daniel

See the sample code below :

 

Database.DMLOptions dlo = new Database.DMLOptions();

dlo.EmailHeader.triggerUserEmail= true;

No it doesn't, please reread my question. Thanks!

You need to set the DML options in the DML statment that is causing the trigger to execute, not the trigger execution itself.  6 years later, but hey when I found this thread so why not answer the question.

I had a similar question and the answer isn't obvious so will share it here. If you want to know, from within a trigger what DML options have been set, then you actually need to query the DML options of the SObject itself.
The link below explains that SObjects have a getOptions() method. Query that to see what options have been set for the object.

To actually set options from within the trigger takes a bit of smoke and mirrors. That is explained here:

Hope this saves some ppl time in the future.
