Handling Duplicate Email Addresses in Zendesk Sell

Learn how to manage situations where an email address is used by multiple contacts in Zendesk Sell to ensure proper email syncing.

What should I do if an email address is used by multiple contacts in Zendesk Sell?

If an email address is used by multiple contacts in Zendesk Sell, emails will only sync to the first record created. This can cause issues if you expect emails to appear under multiple contacts.

To identify duplicates, use the global search feature to find all leads or contacts with the same email address. Once identified, you can decide how to manage these records, such as consolidating information or creating custom fields for alternate email addresses. This ensures that all relevant communications are tracked properly.
