What it does

On a nightly schedule, this template groups likely-duplicate contact records in Airtable into clusters and stages them in a dedicated review-queue table. An operator chooses the surviving master per cluster, and the flow then folds the rest into it.

When to use it

Use this when contacts accumulate in Airtable from imports, events, and integrations, and you want a calm batch review each morning instead of real-time interruptions. Ideal for teams that own dedupe as a daily hygiene chore.

How it works

  1. 1A nightly schedule trigger starts the run.
  2. 2The flow reads all active contacts from the Airtable contacts table.
  3. 3A logic step computes similarity on email, phone, and normalized name, grouping records into duplicate clusters and dropping singletons.
  4. 4Each multi-record cluster is written to a Review Queue table with a suggested master flagged.
  5. 5The next morning an operator confirms or changes the master per row.
  6. 6A follow-up pass reads confirmed rows and updates the losing records to point at the master, then archives them.
