Fully agreed! Like other objects, it’d be great to have the ability to merge leads.

How about this: when a “new” lead autogenerates, the system should/could notify via Pop Up, ‘existing lead on file’, where existing lead is in a New, Attempting, Connected or [recently] Qualified status. We could set the parameters for ‘recent’ , i.e., only display where recent is X number of days, etc.

If that message/halt displays, option to review or decline review, much like when we are working dup contacts.
