Moshe Baitelman Can you use Apex to prevent process builder from running?
Hey all!
We have a process builder that is supposed to execute when a picklist field equals a specific option. When a user manually updates this picklist field or if I update it with Anonymous Apex, the process builder runs appropriately.
We also have a hourly batch job that often sets the picklist value. When the field is updated by the batch apex, the process builder does not run.
I have reviewed the execution order documentation (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/apex_triggers_order_of_execution.htm) and process builder documentation.
I am not reopening the debate/conversation of PB vs Trigger. Question is: is there a way to use apex to prevent process builder from running? Is there a difference because this is batch apex? Has anyone ever come across something like this? Why would my process not trigger when the update happens via batch apex vs manual change?
