Preventing Duplicate Records with Same Email

Molly Evans

Please modify so that if a user attempts to manually create a new contact with an email address that already exists, an error message is displayed, preventing the creation of a duplicate record.

Completed

Please to leave a comment.

Hi! Most users don't actually want this for various reasons, BUT you can have it if you want! Contact support and make the request and we'll set email to be a 'unique' field in the database. BUT, we can only make it so if it's actually true... so make sure to do all your de-duplication before you make the request, or we'll be stuck.

May I also suggest a way to find and merge all duplicates at once, rather than the tedious way it is right now which is one at a time.
