How does Donorbox avoid duplicate contacts in Salesforce?

Donorbox uses email, first name and last name for matching with existing contacts in Salesforce. If one of these is not same, a new contact record is created. Please note that we do email matching on all the 4 standard email fields on the contact object. These fields include the email, work email, personal email and the alternate email. This leads to two cases:

1. If a matching email is found and either first name or last name is different, a new contact record is created under the existing account with the same email.

2. If the matching email is not found, a new contact record is created under a new account.
