Identify if there are duplicate records within your org

Now rules have been set up to prevent duplicates from being created; you want to clean up any potential double-ups you already had in the system. We recommend using an app from the Salesforce AppExchange as a quick and easy way to understand the duplicate records within your system.

Clean up any duplicate records

The apps mentioned above all have the functionality to merge and delete duplicate records. There is also the ability to merge records natively within Salesforce.

Speak to the experts

If you find that large volumes of your records are duplicates or finding that the quality of your data is lacking, you should look to engage a data specialist. We recommend reaching out to Database Consultants Australia (DCA) to discuss the state of your data and how you can improve it further.

The big deal about dupes

Duplicate records are dangerous to system credibility because users can’t find the updates that they’ve made (they’re looking at the wrong copy of the record) and each of the dupes represents an incomplete record with multiple data quality issues.

Prevention is the best cure

The starting and ending point of any deduping project is this: finding defects in processes and systems to prevent the creation of dupes in the first place.

Where to start

The only place to start is to stop and think. Because you can’t do anything good without developing a strategy to fit your specific situation. And there are several situations where something that looks like a dupe actually isn’t one. Here are some examples:

Integrated systems and plug-ins

This is where things get hairy. Let’s start with the simple stuff: plug-ins. Most plug-ins installed in SFDC don’t really mind deduping and probably won’t corrupt anything when you merge. But read that word “most” – you must test with your particular configuration of plug-ins to make sure nothing nasty happens.

Danger Will Robinson!

Deduping is such a tricky business that I have to stress these best practices:

Preventing duplicate Salesforce records

Duplicate record prevention is a cute little topic, but it’s part of a much larger data quality topic. The big picture is embodied in this sentence: no record should be created without some level of procedural or automated controls.

Nipping dupes in the bud

We all make mistakes, and with certain extract, transform, load (ETL) and import cycles, big fat errors are just a mouse-click away. The problem is, with triggers and workflows, any SFDC insert or update may have tons of repercussions on other records.

What is deduplication in Salesforce?

To recap, Salesforce has a basic deduplication solution for the most commonly used objects (Leads, Contacts, (Person)Accounts), allowing alerting and blocking on the creation of duplicates. A batch process for deduplicating existing data is also available for higher-end Salesforce plans. When you require all data to be saved and not blocked, other objects, cross object matching, faster processing or automatic processing it is time to look for other solutions. The first step is to list your requirements, the second step is to match these to the solutions in the AppExchange, and the last step is to test drive one or two apps.

How do deduplication tools work?

All deduplication tools find duplicate records based on the values of fields. Most tools have some default settings to match objects such as leads, contacts and accounts, but you will get the best results when you fine-tune the settings.

How to do a deduplication project?

In the first phase of a deduplication project, you focus on your data requirements alone. 1. List all objects that need deduplicating. Make a list of all objects that need to be deduplicated. These can be standard or custom objects. Indicate if you want to look for duplicates within the object, across objects or both.

Can you batch deduplicate other objects?

You need to batch deduplicate other objects than Lead, Contact and (Person) Account. It is pretty obvious that for many organizations these objects are the most important ones. But if you want to batch process cases, opportunities or custom objects, you’ll need to look further.

Can you wait for manual review of duplicates?

If your marketing automation processes run all the time, you cannot wait for manual review of duplicates. In that case, the fully automatic merging of duplicates saves you time, does not delete valuable data and makes sure your marketing and sales machine keeps on running 24/7.

Is there a one time cleanup in Salesforce?

A one-time cleanup is only a temporary fix for your duplicate issues. Prevention and scheduled cleanups are essential to keeping your Salesforce squeaky clean. But set & forget is not the way to go. New objects, fields and entry methods are regularly added to any Salesforce environment. Make sure to update your deduplication settings to reflect these changes.

What Comes Out-of-the-box?

Out of the box, Salesforce provides three matching rules: for Accounts, Contacts, and Leads. These alone are insufficient, because:

1. Account Exact Name

Purpose: To prevent the creation of multiple Accounts with the exact same Account name.

2. Account Name Potential Match

Purpose: to warn users of a potential duplicate where account names differ slightly.

Leads & Contacts (People Duplicates)

Leads and Contacts are a bit more complicated. Sometimes users will say “I want to prevent Lead duplicates.” Or “I want to prevent Contact duplicates.” Both great goals, but still does not solve the total duplicate problem, even in tandem.

3. Lead-to-Lead Email Exact Match

Purpose: To prevent the creation of multiple Leads with the exact same email.

4. Lead-to-Contact Email Exact Duplicate Rule

Purpose: To prevent the creation of multiple Leads-to-Contacts with the exact same email.

5. Contact-to-Contact Email Exact Duplicate Rule

Purpose: To prevent the creation of multiple Contacts with the exact same email.
