Exact-match rules can automatically merge duplicate contacts

What changed

Genesys added organization-level controls for automatic merging of external contacts with exact matches on identifiers such as phone numbers, email addresses and CRM external IDs. Administrators can preview potential merges; daily processing includes a 14-day history of duplicates, successful merges and failures.

Why it matters

Automated cleanup can reduce duplicate records, but shared identifiers deserve careful review. Previewing candidate matches is important before enabling a process that changes customer records.

Action

Review identifier quality and the preview results with your data owners before enabling automatic merging. Check the documented license requirements and monitor the initial scans.
