Can a business rule be de-activated within a Flow?

[ericgilmore]

Just wondering if it's possible to de-activate/activate a business rule within a Flow. I assume that I'd have to build out a flow action and call it within a flow, I just wanted to know if it's possible, and bonus, if someone has done it already?

Thanks in advance.

While I have no context as to why you would want to deactivate/reactivate a business rule in a flow, you could do a look up record action against the business rule table then follow it up with a update record action to deactivate it.
