Response example

The first time you enter the lead, it will be added normally.

[  
   {  
       "id": 9774766,  
       "contact_id": 12117258,  
       "company_id": 12117260,  
       "request_id": [  
           "1"  
       ],  
       "merged": false  
   }  
]

Now, let’s change in the request body a little bit. For example, let’s change the request name and id and send it again. According to the duplicate control rules in our account and pipeline where we perform the request, the lead is considered a duplicate. The response with the true value of the merged flag is received.

[  
   {  
       "id": 9774766,  
       "contact_id": 12117258,  
       "company_id": 12117260,  
       "request_id": [  
           "2"  
       ],  
       "merged": true  
   }  
]
