How to merge contacts

Overview

Sometimes you will find a case where a contact has been saved in your address book more than once. For example, they might have sent an SMS and a separate email, resulting in a contact record being saved for their email address, and another for their SMS phone number.

Front allows you to merge multiple contact records into a single record, so any conversations had with that individual via any of their contact handles (email, SMS, Front Chat, etc) will all be associated with a single contact record.

How to merge contacts
