How do I deduplicate HubSpot records?

On every HubSpot plan you merge two records of the same object at a time, and no merge can be undone.

Professional and Enterprise add Manage duplicates, which suggests contact and company pairs to review one by one. Data Hub Professional adds bulk merge for those pairs. Deals, tickets and custom objects stay manual on every plan.

Dedupely bulk merges contacts, companies, deals, tickets, leads and custom objects on any HubSpot plan, Free included.

Merge HubSpot duplicates step by step

Merge HubSpot records across your Hub

Dedupely merges the duplicates you have, then keeps HubSpot from filling up again.

They arrive through forms, imports and integrations, then spread into your lists, your workflows and every report built on them.

Merging them by hand, two records at a time, never catches up. Dedupely connects to your portal through HubSpot's API, matching and merging across contacts, companies, deals, leads, tickets and your custom objects.

Works with the HubSpot-Salesforce Integration

If your portal syncs with Salesforce, Dedupely spots it the moment you connect.

It reads the properties HubSpot writes on every linked record, so there is nothing to configure: no custom fields, no Workflows, no change to your integration settings.

Every company merge then keeps the Salesforce-linked record, so the Account on the other side never ends up pointing at a record that stopped existing. Linked records carry a Salesforce badge in your search results.

When two records in a match are linked to different Salesforce Accounts, no survivor is safe: so Dedupely holds that match and tells you why. Connect Salesforce as well and one button merges those Accounts first.

HubSpot teams love Dedupely

“Our customers want to achieve great results fast.” Everybody at HubSpot already knows what Dedupely can do, and we’re really excited to have them as part of the App Partner Program.

A HubSpot portal makes duplicates in six places at once. Contacts and companies are the two HubSpot looks at; deals, leads, tickets and custom objects quietly build up their own. Dedupely reads all six the same way, so the cleanup is one job instead of six.

Clear the backlog in an afternoon, switch Auto Merge on, and it does not come back. Ask anything during setup and a person answers, on any plan.

HubSpot deduplication:
solvable in minutes, not months.

Duplicate contacts skew every list, every workflow and every report built on them, and they mean two emails landing with the same person. Dedupely groups them and merges them on rules you set, so the numbers your team works from are the real ones.

Reporting you can trust

One record per person means list counts, attribution and revenue reports finally agree with each other.

Automations that fire once

A workflow enrolls the right record, and nobody gets the same sequence twice.

How HubSpot deduplication works here

Access it asks for

A Super Admin connection. HubSpot's field-level permissions never restrict a Super Admin, so no property is hidden from a merge preview.

Your first sync

Whole objects, not part of one: switch any object off in CRM Settings. After that, new records sync and new duplicates surface within about three minutes.

What a merge changes

It runs through HubSpot's own merge, called over the API. HubSpot issues a new record ID and retires both originals; inside HubSpot the old IDs redirect to the new one. Most merges finish in under ten seconds.

What stays untouched

Any object you have not switched on, and every property outside the records in the match. Merging is the only write Dedupely makes.

Treat every merge as permanent

Most Dedupely merges can be undone within 30 days from Merge History, but undo is for records that weren't duplicates. It isn't available for HubSpot leads, company merges in a portal synced with Salesforce, or merges made in HubSpot and Salesforce at once. Before you merge, Manual Review holds the matches you're unsure about.

FAQs

Does this replace HubSpot's Manage duplicates tool?

It does the part that tool leaves undone. HubSpot shows you two records at a time and asks you to merge them one pair at a time. Dedupely groups every duplicate it finds, however many are in the group, and merges the whole set in one pass.

Merge HubSpot duplicates step by step

Why does HubSpot only show two records per duplicate?

Its matching is built around pairs. Duplicates arrive in threes and fours, so a pair-based tool leaves the rest behind and you find them again next quarter.

Dedupely matches on the fields you choose (Email, Company, any custom property) and puts every record that matches into one match.

How Dedupely finds duplicates

Can I deduplicate a Free or Starter HubSpot account?

Yes. HubSpot's own Manage duplicates is a Professional and Enterprise feature, so on Free and Starter portals it is not there at all. Dedupely connects to any portal through the API.

See plans and pricing

Which HubSpot objects can Dedupely merge?

Contacts, companies, deals, leads, tickets and your custom objects, on every field those objects carry rather than a fixed list.

New records reach Dedupely within about three minutes, so a duplicate created this morning is findable the same morning. Most merges finish in under ten seconds; leads take a little longer.

How syncing works

What happens to the HubSpot record ID when two records merge?

HubSpot creates a new ID for the merged record and retires both originals: that is HubSpot's behaviour, whether you merge by hand or through the API, and no tool can override it. Inside HubSpot the old IDs redirect to the new record.

It matters if an outside system stores HubSpot IDs. Re-fetch the record there and it resolves.

What a merge does to record IDs

Does merging break my HubSpot-Salesforce Integration?

No. On a portal running the HubSpot-Salesforce Integration, company merges are integration-aware: the Salesforce-linked record always survives, and a match whose records point at two different Salesforce Accounts is held for you to decide rather than merged.

Merging with an active HubSpot-Salesforce Integration

Which record wins, and which values survive?

You choose the Primary. Merge Rules decide the rest field by field: keep the newest value, take a value over a blank, or pin a field to the Primary. Merge History keeps the original values of every merge, plus who merged and when, ready to download as a CSV.

How Merge Rules work

Can I review HubSpot matches before anything merges?

Yes. Manual Review holds every match until you approve it, and a match you reject stays out of later searches. Connecting your portal merges nothing on its own.

Manual Review

Can Dedupely keep HubSpot clean on its own?

Auto Match finds new matches in the background and lets you know when they reach your threshold. Auto Merge merges the ones that meet your rules, on the schedule you set. Filter a search by lifecycle stage, deal stage or property value first, so automation only touches the segment you trust.

Set up Auto Match

Can I try this on my own portal first?

Yes. The 7-day trial connects your portal, syncs your records and runs searches, with unlimited support while you set it up. Nothing merges until you merge it.
