Finding and merging duplicates

Contacts → Possible duplicates lists pairs of profiles that may be one person, with the reason: the same email, LinkedIn, phone, or name and company. Choose Keep this profile on the one to keep, and the other is merged into it. Not a duplicate dismisses the pair.

Review possible duplicates#

  1. Step 1: Open Contacts and choose Possible duplicates.

  2. Step 2: Look at each pair and why it was flagged.

    Same email, Same LinkedIn or profile, Same phone, or Same name and company or location.

  3. Step 3: Choose Keep this profile on the one to keep, or Not a duplicate.

    Merging moves the other record’s information onto the one you keep, then deletes it. It can’t be undone.

Most duplicates never get this far: OpenATS matches people as they’re added. See How to add a candidate.
