    Importing: Add new e-mails for existing contacts

    Hi! I am trying to import some contacts. Some of them already exist in our CRM, some are new. If a contact already exists (based on first and last name), is it possible to add the e-mail address from imported data to already existing e-mails for the contact? During my tests it seems like the e-mails were simply overwritten. Thank you!

    Hi, I think there's no such an ability.

    You can import all and then find duplicates and merge them manually.
    If you find EspoCRM good, we would greatly appreciate if you could give the project a star on GitHub. We believe our work truly deserves more recognition. Thanks.

      You can try an Update Import with Update By with First name and Last Name and add Email Address

        That’s what I tried, but if there are two different email addresses, they are not merged, one of them is discarded.

        Thank you! I’ll write an API script to merge the data.
