How do I merge two contacts?

With our Merge feature you can merge two CRM Company records together. This does not include the Sales Ledgers and therefore any Sales History will not be merged onto the new Company. Please complete a merge within your ERP/Accounting System and then assign the new Sales Ledger to the new retained Company.

To merge a Company, start by opening the Company record that you wish to merge into another record. The Company record you start the Merge on will be the record that is deleted.

Please make sure the record you are merging into is under the correct parent, as this is the Parent the merged record will be under. If this needs to be moved you can use our Change Parent function, here.

Once on the Company Record you wish to merge, select the Merge Company option from the three dot menu on the right-hand side.

Please Note: If you don't see the Merge option in this menu, you likely don't have the Delete permission. Please contact your Admin to check this for you or follow this guide.

Once Merge Company has been pressed, you now need to find the Company you wish to merge with. Once you have found the Company you wish to merge with, press Select on the Company.

Once you have selected which Company Record you'd like to merge with, you can select which value for each of the set fields will be retained.

At this step it will also clearly state which record will be deleted and which will be retained.

The Company record on the left-hand side will be the record you started the merge on with the right-hand Company record being the selected record.

Any Contacts under the Company which will be deleted will also be moved under the retained Company. Sales Ledgers are not included in the merge, and so should be changed after the Companies have been merged.

Please note: The field selection will always default to using the value of the record that is being retained, unless this is not set on the retained record and is set on the deleted record, in which case the selection will default to the deleted record.

Select the Merge button to confirm the Merge. This will start the Merge process.

Once the record has been merged, you can't restore or undo the merge.
