Duplication & Merge

[Simondodd80]

Hi,

Successive data imports have led to many duplicate contacts in HubSpot.

How do I quickly merge the contact data files without losing data stored in the records?

Thanks

Simon

Q: How do I quickly merge the contact data files without losing data stored in the records??

Short A: see [Now Live] Import, Deduplicate, and Search Objects Using Object ID

Longer A:

Considering that you will need to export and update your .csv to identify which records are duplicates before re-importing, there is no 'quick' way to mass merge. Typically, when talking about mass dedup, quick = mass errors! 😐

Always happy to help you build on HubSpot.

Best,
Frank
