What it does

This workflow runs the moment a new record is created in Attio. It searches existing companies for a match, and when it finds a likely duplicate it builds a side-by-side comparison of the new and existing records, highlighting which fields overlap and which differ. It posts a merge-or-keep suggestion to Slack so the team decides before the duplicate takes root.

When to use it

Use it when records pour into Attio from integrations and enrichment and you want to catch duplicates at creation time, not weeks later during a cleanup project.

How it works

  1. 1An Attio record-created event triggers the workflow.
  2. 2The workflow searches Attio for existing companies matching domain or name.
  3. 3A branch checks whether any match crosses the similarity threshold.
  4. 4For a match, it builds a field overlap and conflict comparison of new vs existing.
  5. 5It posts a merge-or-keep suggestion to Slack with both records shown.
  6. 6On a merge decision, it consolidates the records in Attio and notifies the channel.
