Overview
The Multiple Field Duplication job allows you to select specific fields to determine when a lead should be flagged as a duplicate. You can customize which fields to analyze and set criteria using operators to identify duplicates effectively.
This job proves invaluable in scenarios where:
- Identifying non-identical duplications is crucial. For instance, when potential leads use multiple email addresses.
- Capture instances when first name, last name, and home address, which is particularly useful during campaigns where users may submit multiple requests with different details.
Configuration
1. Go to the Processr tab and click Add Job within your campaign.
2. Select Multiple Field Duplication from the drop-down and click Save.
3. The configuration will now be displayed. You can enter the field names you want to be checked for duplicates. For each field name that you choose, you can apply an operator to specify how the job identifies duplicates.
You can choose from:
- Equal
- Contains
- Starts with
- Ends with
4. You can configure the job to check for duplicates at different levels—such as within the same campaign, the same advertiser, or across the entire platform. Regardless of the level selected, the job will only evaluate billable leads when identifying duplicates. You can also define a rolling time period, typically the last 30 days, over which the job will search for potential duplicates.
5. Your final job configuration should look similar to the one below.
Example Scenario
- First Name, Last Name and Company Name are all unique
- You want to capture instances where the email is different
- You only want to capture instances in the same campaign for the last 30 days
Here’s how you’d configure the Multiple Field Duplication Job:
1. Add or Configure the Job
2. Add Conditions
| Condition 1: Fields | Condition 2 & 3: Level and Past X days |
| Field Name: Select firstName, lastName and company_name from the dropdown and set the condition to equal | Level set to campaign and Past_x_days to 30 |
|
Condition 1: Fields |
How It Works
| Pass (1st Lead) | Fail (2nd Lead) |
|
firstName = Joe This lead passes as it meets all the conditions. |
firstName = Joe This lead fails because the firstName, lastName and company_name are duplicates |
