Contact to Contact Deduplication: Default Sweep Logic

Catches the same person entered as a Contact more than once. Unlike the Lead rule, first names are compared loosely here — so "Bob Smith" and "Robert Smith" can be recognized as the same person.

The rule follows the same email-first philosophy as the Lead rule, with name-based fallbacks corroborated by title, account, phone, or mailing address details. In plain terms, two Contacts match if any of the following is true:

  • Same Email, or

  • Same First + Last Name + Title + Account, or

  • Same First + Last Name + Phone, or

  • Same First + Last Name + Mailing Street, plus at least one of: same Account, Title, Postal Code, or Mailing City
