Clients
Merge duplicate clients
Combine two records for the same person, keeping all their visits, photos and notes.
If someone booked with a different phone or email, they may appear twice. Merging joins the two records.
Steps
- Go to Clients. If we spot likely duplicates, a banner says "possible duplicates". Click Take a look.
- Each pair shows why it looks like a match (same phone, same email or similar name). Click Review & merge.
- Under 1. Which record do you want to keep?, choose Keep this one on the right record. Its name is used.
- Check 2. What you'll end up with.
- Under 3. Confirm, tick the box and click Merge into "…".
From a client's profile
- Open the client and click Merge with another client… in the Details panel.
- Search for the other record and pick it. The same review screen opens.
Good to know
- Merging can't be undone. The other record is deleted after its history moves across.
- Visits, photos, notes, tags and marketing permission from both records are kept. If both had notes, they're joined.
- Nothing is merged until you confirm. Clicking ✕ on the banner hides it until a new duplicate appears.
- Only the account owner can merge clients.
