Duplicate contacts create confusion — double emails, split activity logs, and inaccurate reporting. DreamFlow's duplicate detection scans your contact list by email, phone, and name similarity and lets you merge records with a few clicks.
Steps
- Navigate to CRM > Contacts and click the Duplicates tab (or go directly to CRM > Contacts > Duplicates).
- DreamFlow shows Duplicate Groups — sets of contacts that share an email, phone number, or very similar name.
- Click a group to review the contacts side by side. You will see all fields from each record.
- Select the Primary Record — this is the contact that survives the merge. The other records are merged into it.
- Choose which fields to keep from each record. DreamFlow pre-selects the most recently updated value for each field.
- Click Merge. All activity logs, tasks, deals, notes, and tags from the secondary records are combined into the primary record.
- The secondary contacts are automatically removed. This action cannot be undone.
Warning
Merging is permanent. Double-check which record you select as primary before clicking Merge. If you are unsure, export the duplicate group first using Data Export.
