    Great topic—merging contacts through an API can really simplify data management and reduce duplication issues. I’ve seen similar approaches work well when handling case-related data tied to https://queenscountycourts.org especially when accuracy matters. Automating this process saves time and keeps records consistent across systems without manual cleanup. Thanks for sharing this insight; it’s a solid reference for anyone refining their integration workflows.

    been waiting on this one for 6 years !!! surely other CRM's ERP's let accounts/contacts be merged.
    now if associated contact has invoices / payments we would like that merged into final contact as well.

    This feature is particularly useful in my case that I have a large number of contacts existed in Xero and like to push new contacts from my CRM and don't want thousands of duplicates

    Please make this feature, As it will be helpful when same person has two contacts stored with two different <ContactId>, If this can be available in UI version why not via API. This would make our life so easy.
