The Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM allows several ways to input leads, accounts, and contacts through:
All of these processes result in duplicates. Your end-users will know if there’s a duplicate problem if they are in the CRM daily but cannot quantify it.
Our no-obligation Data Quality Report will tell you how many duplicate leads, accounts or contacts you have and even give you some examples. To receive your free Data Quality Report, visit our Contact page.
The Data Quality Report is a summary of an analysis of your active Leads/Accounts/Contacts. For each of these entities, you will see how many duplicates were detected using our default matching logic and some clues as to how we found them. Also included in the report are several hundred sample duplicate sets from your CRM for you to validate individually.
The Data Quality Report provides actionable insight as to how serious your duplicate problem has become. The report is provided free and none of your CRM data is modified in the process. To learn more, visit our Data Quality Report page here.

“Fuzzy matching” simply means not exact, but close enough. Our fuzzy matching logic will find duplicates regardless of the various ways we humans enter data.
For example, ask ten people to create a single new contact record with the usual name, address, and phone fields. You’ll most likely receive ten different results. AutoMerge will find these duplicates and match them up.
Our default logic defines the most recently updated Lead/Account/Contact as the primary record to “win” the pending AutoMerge operation. Based on your pricing plan, this can be customized to follow any decision logic you can imagine, including referencing information on related records such as Activities, Opportunities, Cases, or Custom entities.
On a set-by-set basis, you can change which record should “win” the pending AutoMerge operation by using our AutoMerge Set Primary button.
The loser record(s) are disabled but not deleted – just like the behavior of the out-of-box merge dialog. AutoMerged Leads/Accounts/Contacts can always be seen in a subgrid from the remaining winner (primary) record until you Bulk Delete them to recover the disk space they occupy.
Yes! You are always in control. No duplicate sets are automatically merged until you say so. You can use our AutoMerge command bar/ribbon button to merge multiple sets yourself or simply log into the AutoMerge Management Application and submit a request.
AutoMerge also has a Match Precision % field to let you know how similar the records in each set of duplicates are. With this, you can submit a request to us to AutoMerge all dupes sets above X% and manually validate/AutoMerge the rest (below X%) yourself.
Yes, use the AutoMerge Ignore command bar/ribbon button. It will remove selected record(s) from existing duplicate set(s) and prevent them from being matched in the future.
You may also un-ignore those records in the future with a simple bulk edit or by submitting a request via the AutoMerge Management Application.
AutoMerge has a system-wide configurable set of fields that are reviewed prior to every AutoMerge operation. During the AutoMerge process – for each “preservation” field – if the winning (primary) record has no value for that field and the loser (non-primary) record does have a value, the loser’s field value is automatically copied into the winning record.
The built-in CRM merge wizard is much too cumbersome and error-prone to use for more than a few sets of duplicates.
