Carolina W 2 Run Trigger only by Flow
I want to call a Before Update Trigger only when my Flow is running.
I created a checkbox field called "Run_code__c". The standard value is false.
My code:
But how can I change run_code__c to "true" in the flow if the trigger will block it?
There is another way to solve it?
My goal is to run the Trigger Before Upadate only when my Flow is running.

My code:
for(Account acc:trigger.new){
if(acc.run_code__c){ //Do stuff }
else { acc.addError('MsgError'); }
But how can I change run_code__c to "true" in the flow if the trigger will block it?

Greetings!
When the record is updated by the automated user(fire/process) then there is a chance that the trigger will not fire.
So,you would need to use the apex class with @incovable method to achieve this requirement.Otherwise,you can refer the below thread for the suggestion:

Kindly mark it as best answer if it helps so that it can help others in the future.

Thanks, Shirisha!
U helped me a lot!
What I have done:
Class
public class MyClass{ public static boolean runCode = false; public static void Method1 (List<Account> accs){ for(Account acc:accs) { if(runCode ==true){ //Do stuff } else { acc.addError('You can only change the record by the botton'); } } } @InvocableMethod (label='Autorize Flow' description='Make Flow update the record' category='Account') public static void Method2 (){ runCode =true; } }Triggertrigger MyTrigger on Account (Before Update) { MyClass.Method1(trigger.new); }P.s: I deleted "Run_code__c". I'm not using anymore.
Thanks!
So in the flow, before update the record, I put an Apex Action.
