Resolving Duplicate Agent Records

In this section, we'll show you how to resolve duplicate agent contacts by merging them into one contact.

πŸ’‘ Quick tip: Click on the video above to expand it in another window.

  1. Once you've pulled a duplicate agent report, you'll see them listed with the number of recorded contacts

  2. Click "Resolve" to the right of the duplicate agent name

  3. Check the box above each record you want to include in the contact merge

  4. Once you've selected all of the contacts you want to be included in the merge, select which one will be the master record

    1. This is usually the contact with the correct email address for the agent

  5. Confirm the correct information is selected for each row

    1. You can select from any column to make sure all important contact info is included in the merge

  6. The information that will be included in the merge & added to the master record will show on the right

All Done

That's it! Now you can quickly identify duplicate records in your Agent contact list and easily choose which info is right for the merged record.

If you have used the previous method of transferring inspection data and deleting the non-used record manually this new method should make this an easier task but if you really want to do it, it is still there for you.


Important Notes:

  • Data Retention: Merging contacts will combine all associated data, such as email addresses, phone numbers, and transaction history, under the primary agent.
    ​

  • Cannot Undo: This action is irreversible. Make sure you review the details carefully before merging.

By merging agent contacts, you can maintain a clean, organized contact list and prevent duplicate entries.


Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Why is the "merge agents" button disabled or grayed out when attempting to merge agent contacts?

    • If the merge option appears inactive, please ensure that the agent has an email address associated with one of the profiles. If there is no email address, you can add one to the records on the contact page, which will enable you to merge under that specific record.
