How to Set Up Auto-Dedupe to Retain Newest Data Versions

·

Hello, is there a way to auto-dedupe that will retain new data? When turning on auto-dedupe it keeps the earliest version of the row data, I would like to retain the newest version.

Currently, Clay's auto-dedupe feature only retains the oldest row when detecting duplicates in a specified column. The system automatically deletes newer duplicate entries. There's no built-in setting to keep the newest data instead. You can access auto-dedupe settings by clicking the Auto-dedupe icon at the bottom right of your table and selecting "Enable automatic deduplication." If you need to retain newer data when deduplicating, you might need to use a different approach or request this as a feature enhancement.

Is there any work around, like adjusting table settings so new data is added to the top of the sheet?

No unfortunately, it will still delete the latest entry regardless of sorting

Hey there, thanks for reaching out! Being able to customize your auto-dedupe to delete either the newest or oldest record found is something our team is working on implementing! Would love to hear your use case as well so we could try and come up with an alternative in the meantime! :)
