Turning off a Process Builder Process Manually

Can a Process Builder Process be turned off manually keep it from firing) using let's say a checkbox if you don't want to fire? Or maybe a Flow script that gets trigger manually?

Hi Glenn,


Ben Edwards has a set of tools which includes one called Salesforce Switch, which enabled you to do this. He has also put the source code on GitHub: Also, there is a lightning component to allow on mass enable/disable: At it's core, it uses the Tooling API.

Getting Flow/Process Info 
GET: /services/data/v43.0/tooling/query?q=Select+Id,ActiveVersion.VersionNumber,LatestVersion.VersionNumber,DeveloperName+From+FlowDefinition+ORDER+BY+DeveloperName
Updating Flow/Process Info 
POST: /services/data/v43.0/tooling/sobjects/FlowDefinition/{FlowId}/?_HttpMethod=PATCH
With JSON: 
{ 'Metadata': { 'activeVersionNumber': {versionNumber/null} } }
NOTE: the ?_HttpMethod=PATCH is only required if you're calling from Apex.

Hope this helps.

Kindly mark this as solved if the reply was helpful.

Thanks,
Nagendra

Not by default .. 

But you can do one small trick .. 

Create a checkbox on the user ( by pass process __c )

Check this checkbox is checked or not .. If check box is not checked then only execute the process builder actions
