Tips for Merging Contacts

Consider the following when merging contacts:

• Any related items from any of the duplicate contacts will be associated with the merged contact.
• If you are merging duplicate contacts that are members of different campaigns, the campaign Member Status Updated date for each contact is retained and associated with the newly merged contact.
• Before merging contacts that both have active Self-Service usernames, deactivate one Self-Service username. The merged record will adopt the active Self-Service username.
• Any account sharing and manual sharing for the master contact are applied to the newly merged contact.
• When you merge contacts that have Reports To relationships, the newly merged contact retains the Reports To field from the selected Master Record.
• All discarded duplicate records are moved to the Recycle Bin.
• The newly merged contact displays the Created By date from the oldest contact you are merging, and shows the merge date as the Modified By date.
• In organizations that use divisions, the merged contact is assigned to the division of the related account.
• Merging contacts is not tracked in the setup audit trail.
• You can delete a contact if you are an administrator, the contact owner, or a user above the contact owner in the organization role hierarchy, and if you have the appropriate user permission.
• The newly merged contact is automatically included on any case teams in which the contacts were associated.
• The master contact automatically replaces the duplicate contacts in all the requested meetings they were invited to. Also, all meeting messages written by the duplicate contacts are automatically associated with the master contact. (Meeting messages appear on the requested meeting's Web page and are visible to all invitees.)
