Hi,

You can create hierarchy custom setting and create "isProfile" checkbox custom field and set it's value as false and then use that check in your apex trigger before caling any method to perform certain actions.

Thanks

Hi,

Greetings to you!

Make use of custom setting using which you can control whether a trigger should run or not.  Create a custom setting (say Trigger_Settings__c).  Add a checkbox field “Is Active”.  So your custom settings will store the trigger name and its status in IsActive checkbox.

Then in your apex trigger, add an IF condition at the top to check if the Trigger status in Custom settings is TRUE, only then run the entire apex trigger code.
  
trigger oppTrigger on opportunity (before insert){
  Trigger_Settings__c TS = Trigger_Settings__c.getValues('oppTrigger');
  if(TS.is_Active__c == TRUE){
    //your trigger code
  }
}

So, every time you want to turn off the trigger in production, just go to your custom settings and uncheck the IsActive checkbox for that trigger.

Please refer to the below links which might help you further with the above requirement.

You can do some think differently instead of using the custom settings or metadata ..   ( Offcourse you have its own reason to use custom setting or metadata ..

Create a Checkbox field on the User Bypass_Trigger__c
if you set this value to true you can bypass the trigger like below 
  
trigger Demo on Account (after delete, after insert, after undelete, after update, before delete, before insert, before update) {
    User logUser=[Select id,Bypass_Trigger__c 
                       from User
                       where id=:UserInfo.getUserId()] ;
    if(!logUser.Bypass_Trigger__c){

		//Your Logic here 
    }
}

Hi @the new learner,
Application__c bypassTrigger= Application__c.getInstance( UserInfo.getProfileId() );
if(!bypassTrigger.DisableTrigger__c){
   System.debug('Trigger is firing');
}
You can login with different users having different profiles and identify if the trigger is firing or not by adding System.debug('Trigger is firing') in your code.

Thanks
