Lead Duplicate Contact Feature

Lead Duplicate Contact Feature

Client who have Jobs Management Software usually encounters an issue with a duplicate contact. However, allowing duplicate contact on LANA is a must because most of the time they will create multiple quotes or job for an existing contact. 


LANA will create a new contact with new opportunity card and allowing duplicates will prevent to override the existing contact or opportunity cards. 


Now a feature is built to better organize duplicate and original contact! 



How it Works!


Once this feature is configured on the back end, all original contacts will consist a tag "original_contact". When tag is created and synced to all contacts, we will then create a Smart list only for contacts with tags"original_contact"




This way, user will have an easy access to their contact list without seeing any duplicates.



How to enable Lead Duplicate Contact Feature


1. Go to Subscription Panel > Select the Agency


2. Go to LANA Details Section


3. Enable LANA Duplicate Contact Feature > Update



4.  Select Start LANA contacts sync



Once done, it will take some time to sync the tags into the account. After a few minutes you will now be able to see the tags on the contact. Now we're ready to create a Smart list on the account. 


Creating a Smart list for Original Contacts


  1. Select More Filters 
  2. Choose Tags 
  3. Select "orignal_contact" tag
  4. Click Apply > Save Smart List
  5. Set Original Contact as Smart list name




Please Note: Always place the Original Contact Smart list next to All contact list and set it with Global Access
