Released

Merge relationships.

Posting on behalf of a customer. Recently we’ve released the company merge feature but customer is inquiring about the ability to merge relationships either at the relationship level or at the company level without having to merge the companies.

I don’t think we have this functionality but thought it might be a good idea and wanted to inquire if this was being looked into.

+1 This would greatly help us as well. I would also echo @jlicciardello statement about consideration for a reparenting option for relationships.

I'm running into cases where this functionality would be useful more and more. It would be great to get an update on whether this is still considered on the roadmap.

I am desperate for this!! I think there are a lot of use cases for this, but the biggest one I’m encountering is just to fix when the relationship automation goes awry and creates duplicate relationships. When we have what are essentially duplicate relationships created (I won’t go into the details but be assured it’s impossible with our data right now to stop this from happening), the team doesn’t always pay attention to or know which relationship they create an activity or a CTA on and so data exists on both. By the time I catch it in my data cleanups it would be easy enough to solve if I could just merge the two relationships together and retain all of the activities, people, success plans, and CTAs in one relationship.

Instead I end up with my head in my hands trying to make judgement calls about whether some of the data is worthless enough that I should just delete a relationship, whether I want to compile a list of activity ids to have support move to the other relationship, or whether there’s so much data between the two that I can’t lose that I just leave the duplicate relationship in our system and mark it as inactive and live with how annoying that is.

Please just enable relationship merge already :pray:

I feel your pain, @mindy . We are experiencing the same thing and Relationship Merge would be crucial to solve this...

Is this on a roadmap? This is the single biggest thing that could be improved for us right now. The lack of being able to merge relationships sometimes makes me want to throw my hands up and give up on Gainsight data accuracy. I’m going to start posting every time the lack of this makes my life very hard. Expect posts weekly...

I would also be love to help with this. We have a lot of duplicates from the SFDC to NXT migration.
