Hi @AGupta21 ,

The question is a bit hard to answer without an example of your code, however;

This can not be achieved with a single call, so you would first have to merge the first two contacts, and then merge the last one in an additional API call. This should be achievable with a small for loop in your code.

Example is if in my Contact i same conatct with more than 3 conatct available i am going to marge  all cotact with single contact .

I am in using this code but when the conatct is more 2 then this code throwing error.

bellow the code here

const hubspot = require('@hubspot/api-client');

const PROPERTY_USED_TO_DEDUPE_CONTACTS = 'phone';

exports.main = async (event, callback) => {
const hubspotClient = new hubspot.Client({ accessToken: '' });

try {
console.log("Phone number:", PROPERTY_USED_TO_DEDUPE_CONTACTS);

const contactResult = await hubspotClient.crm.contacts.basicApi.getById(event.object.objectId, [PROPERTY_USED_TO_DEDUPE_CONTACTS]);

console.log("All contact properties:", contactResult.properties);

let dedupePropValue = contactResult.properties[PROPERTY_USED_TO_DEDUPE_CONTACTS];

if (!dedupePropValue) {
console.log(`No value found for ${PROPERTY_USED_TO_DEDUPE_CONTACTS}`);
return;
}
console.log("Phone number:", dedupePropValue);

// Ensure the dedupe property is not empty or invalid
if (!dedupePropValue) {
console.log(`No value found for ${PROPERTY_USED_TO_DEDUPE_CONTACTS}, skipping deduplication.`);
return;
}
console.log(`Looking for duplicates based on ${PROPERTY_USED_TO_DEDUPE_CONTACTS} = ${dedupePropValue}`);
// Search for duplicate contacts
const searchResults = await hubspotClient.crm.contacts.searchApi.doSearch({
filterGroups: [{
filters: [{
propertyName: PROPERTY_USED_TO_DEDUPE_CONTACTS,
operator: 'EQ',
value: dedupePropValue
}]
}]
});
// Collect IDs of contacts that match the dedupe property but aren't the current contact
let idsToMerge = searchResults.results
.map(object => object.id)
.filter(vid => Number(vid) !== Number(event.object.objectId));

if (idsToMerge.length == 0) {
console.log('No matching contact, nothing to merge.');
return;
} else if (idsToMerge.length > 1) {
console.log(`Found multiple potential contact IDs ${idsToMerge.join(', ')} to merge`);
throw new Error("Ambiguous merge; more than one matching contact");
}
// Merge the contacts
let idToMerge = idsToMerge[0];
console.log(`Merging enrolled contact id=${event.object.objectId} into contact id=${idToMerge}`);
const mergeResult = await hubspotClient.apiRequest({
method: 'POST',
path: `/contacts/v1/contact/merge-vids/${idToMerge}`,
body: {
vidToMerge: event.object.objectId
}
});
console.log('Contacts merged successfully!');
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error during contact deduplication:', error.message);
}
};
