I agree! Would be a great addition.

If you’re open to using a third-party app, check out the new App Marketplace for solutions. I work for Insycle and with our app you can identify duplicates by any field and bulk merge them using flexible rules to make sure the right master record is picked. You can also generate a CSV report of the duplicates, run bulk merge in “Preview” before they go live, and automate the deduplication process.
HubSpot built an open platform to help businesses discover tools, improve customer experiences, and grow better. As part of HubSpot’s “all-on-one” platform, the Insycle product complements and augments customer data management in HubSpot.
Here is a short video showing how the Insycle deduplication process works.
Adding this feature would save a tremendous amount of time - it would be a game changer. Please implement this ASAP.
It’d be great if we were able to match a property (like phone number) in a workflow and have all contacts with the same phone number merged together.
I would agree. We share the same sentiment as OP, managing thousands of contacts one at a time is impractical.
Yes Please!
Not having this is a touch insane.
For the love of all that is good and holy pleeeeease implement this. We have a crazy amount of duplicates that we are really struggling to filer through.
Echoing comments above! Additionally, the ability to do this via fil upload would be very helpful. For example, you’d have contact ID, email address, etc. columns of the master contact, then the same information for the duplicate in the same row. This would dictate which contact should get merged.
Great idea! Currently have over 180 duplicates and it feels like such a waste of time going through each one, one at a time to merge them when I’m confident it would be correct and accurate to merge all of the ones that hubspot has identified as duplicates.
Hey @BenD, that’s what I’d thought too. But, on further investigation I found that the matches that HS made were less than close to perfect.
My suggestion is to edit the columns/fields that you can match against. I’ve added Date Added and IP State/Region (US based) and found that what appeared to be matches, could very well not be. Then go back an look at those contacts again and see if they really are who you think they are. You may be suprised, as I was.
Those that I didn’t merge I will hopefully catch in the Lists that I’ve created to flag those that bounce, do not click, etc and then periodically delete those contacts enmass.
Scott.
Need this - have thousands of duplicates. Paid to move on to the version with deduplicate and presented with thousands of clicks. And they are obviously all duplicates. Arghhh what the…
Yes, I and our entire team would like to advocate for this to be enhanced. We have over 2000 duplicates, many who came from an import and we would like to make contact 1 the primary in bulk. We do not have time or the resources to go through 2000, one by one. We can go page by page, which significantly decreases our time.
Thank you for the consideration to make this enhancement.
Desperately need this tool to be beefed up!
Currently when we de-dupe in Salesforce, the lead record in hubspot gets deleted and when we de-dupe (one by one) in hubspot we have to repeat those steps in salesforce. We have 2000 plus duplicates as salesforce does not prevent a duplicate record from being created only tried to prevent it.
Being able to de duplicate in bulk based on commonalities would be amazing
- Example there is a contact that looks like a duplicate and we have 3 records with 3 different emails, being able to identify which one is the active email vs ones that might have bounced could eliminate MANY duplicates in one shot.
- Being able to merge records if they merge in salesforce would also take care of a large portion as we have a tool that lets us bulk de duplicate in salesforce. (integration app).
Eliminating the “junk” duplicates would allow us to pay more close attention to the more questionable ones.
This is exactly what Dedupely makes super easy (our typical customer has way more than 1000 duplicates).
Merge rules also save you lost data from blind merging. In the end you’ll just trust your data more.
We’ve had customers say “I merged 9,000+ dupes.. litterally is the best money I’ve spent this quarter” and others “this saved me like a million hours (slight exaggeration)”

YES!
@Dedupely I will give the 7 day trial a go. But I still think HS should beef up their integrated deduping 
Definitely need a bulk merge capability, woke up this morning to 2000+ duplicates! Processing them one by one is an absolute nightmare… and such a waste of time! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese HubSpot, save me from this dedupe insanity!
