Any resources around managing duplicate contacts in Hubspot? For context, we currently create a new contact when they move to a new company rather than overwriting email/phone number from existing. Thus the "old" contact still exists with the same LinkedIn URL as the "new" contact - they are the same person but have different job titles/companies. I find linkedin url is a great unique identifier to use with update object/create object if url doesn't already exist but this doesn't work when they move jobs
ask HS support they have good recourse. i did somthing like that some days back
That’s a tricky one — LinkedIn URL works well as a unique identifier until someone changes roles, since they keep the same profile but you’ll want a new contact record in HubSpot. A common approach is using a combo key (e.g. LinkedIn URL + current company domain) to decide whether to update or create. HubSpot’s built-in dedupe tools can help a bit, but they don’t always catch these cases. We’ve set up custom deduplication + enrichment logic for clients facing this exact problem, so happy to share how we approached it if you’d like.
