Airtable Duplicate Detection
Automatically flag or merge duplicate Airtable records.
Nora scans your base for duplicate entries (same email, name, or custom key), flags or merges them, and logs activity.
Duplicates slow down operations: two contacts with same email, two projects with same name, two invoices from same vendor. Nora runs a daily scan of your Airtable base using a configurable duplicate key (email, phone, company name, or custom). When duplicates are found, Nora either: flags them in a 'Review' column for manual merge, or auto-merges them (keeping the older record, rolling linked records to the merged entry). Logs show what was merged and by what rule. Essential for CRM bases, lead tracking, and any reference data table.
Runs daily at 6 pm using Airtable, run by your Project Manager.
