talkvalue path person merge consolidates two duplicate person records into one. The source person’s emails, phones, channels, events, and activity history move into the target, and TalkValue retires the source ID. Prefer this over delete whenever you spot a duplicate. Attribution and event history from both records remain attached to the target.

Synopsis

Arguments

Options

Examples

1. Merge two duplicates

Merges person 199 into person 142. The output is the target’s updated record, same shape as person get, so you can verify the merged email, phone, and channel set.

2. Inspect both before merging

This checks the records match before the destructive call, which is useful in CI scripts that auto-merge on an email match.

3. Roll back a mistake

To reverse a merge, use person merge-undo within the retention window:
The merge operation ID is in the merge response (mergeOperations[0].id on the target’s detail record) or in the dashboard’s activity log.

Response

The returned record is the target person after the merge, with channels and events from both records combined. Calls to person get 199 after the merge return 404.
