How to Turn off Automations for Salesforce Apex Triggers & Flow

In this demo, we walk through a Salesforce automation kill switch built to safely disable automation during backfills, data fixes, and bulk updates without manually turning off Flows or commenting out Apex. The solution uses a hierarchy custom setting as a centralized control layer. Both record-triggered Flows and Apex triggers evaluate a single true/false decision to determine whether automation should run. What this demo covers: How to disable Salesforce automation globally How to disable Apex triggers and record-triggered Flows Object-level control using inclusion and exemption lists User- and profile-level automation disabling with hierarchy custom settings Automatically re-enabling automation using expiration dates We also show two ways to apply this logic to record-triggered Flows: Using an object-level formula field Using a shared autolaunched subflow for centralized control Finally, we demonstrate how the same logic is applied to Apex triggers using a lightweight helper class that exits early when automation is disabled. This pattern is designed for teams working in live Salesforce orgs who need to pause automation intentionally without impacting other users or leaving automation turned off longer than intended.
