    <title>topic Re: Announcement: Deals now support merging in APIs &amp; Integrations</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Wholesale-Solar,&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Deal merges work on the same system that ticket merges work on, which has the behavior that A+B merge into C.&amp;nbsp; Basically our generic merge logic always does A+B=C, but contacts and company merge logic are on older systems that handle merges in their own special way. While I have nothing to disclose at this time, it's possible that future versions of older APIs may eventually adopt this behavior.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Please stop releasing end-user functionality like this without api support. Arrrrgh.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;We understand, the desire to be able to use our APIs to do most of the functionality that the HubSpot app itself has. We are always striving to open up our functionality via the APIs. In this case since merging deals was a common pain point for customers it didn't make sense to delay releasing this feature until an API was available.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;How about webhook support for merging Contacts, Companies, and Deals? There is currently no way to for external systems to know when end users are merging objects in Hubspot. This makes Data Integration problematic.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;While I have nothing to announce at this time, we hear you. We understand the frustration there, and want to make this experience better for you and for your customers.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
