Duplicate Check with Import Wizard

Hi

I have a requirement where I want Sf to alert me as we import leads into Salesforce with the import wizard. Is there a tool which can do this for us or do we have to develop this functionality?

Hello !

Avoiding Duplicate Leads:
The Import My Organization’s Leads wizard can eliminate duplicate leads if you choose a Matching Type of Salesforce ID,Name, or Email.
Reference: https://help.salesforce.com/apex/HTViewHelpDoc?id=faq_import_contacts_can_the_import.htm

I believe you can use this DupeCatcher App for de-duplicating the records. As it is free and easy to use

Also you can use any Third Party Tools which are available in the App Exchange

Follow the below steps.

1. Write a matching rule on lead in duplicate management. tell what feilds you want to match while comparig.
2. Write a duplicate rule and do not allow duplicates,

Both the above steps are point and click setups, it will not create a duplicate record if you select so in second step.

Mark this as correct answer if this works for you.
