Good strategy for alert suppression during mass update ?
Greetings,
Just was pondering the best method to suppress all alerts during a mass update operation, (when desired to suppress, that is).
Perhaps via a hidden field that you update during such a mass update, and every alert workflow would key off of? (Would need to be cleared though too then, post update).
Anyone have a successful strategy / best practice recommendation?
Thanks,
Pete
I presume you mean email updates? You can turn those on/off via the "EmailHeader" settings. There's some documentation in the API, and I believe the Apex Data Loader supports this option natively.
