Duplicate Contacts
In this article, we’ll walk through the Duplicate Contacts tool located under the Contacts tab and explain how to quickly identify and merge duplicate records in your CRM.
The Key Steps
1. Navigate to Duplicate Contacts
Click the Contacts tab in the left-hand navigation menu.
Click Duplicate Contacts.
2. Run a Duplicate Scan
Click Start Scan.
The system will automatically:
- Scan your database for duplicate contacts
- Identify records that may share the same key information (such as email addresses)
3. Review & Merge Duplicates
Once the scan is complete, the system will:
- Display potential duplicate matches
- Prompt you to review them
- Allow you to merge duplicate records
When merging:
- Contact records are combined
- Data is consolidated into a single profile
- Duplicate entries are removed
4. Why This Is Important
The most important unique identifier in your CRM is typically the email address.
If you have:
- Two contacts with the same email
- Duplicate entries for the same person
It’s best practice to merge them into one record. This ensures:
- Clean data
- Accurate reporting
- Proper automation triggers
- No duplicate messaging
The Duplicate Contacts tool helps keep your CRM organized and ensures all contact information stays consolidated in one place.
