# Merge contact

Use this endpoint to merge two or more contacts. The secondary contacts **(mergeIds)** will be merged onto the primary contact (**primary\_contact\_id)**. Merge data includes conversation, chats, notes, views, etc. The primary contact ID in the endpoint URL **(primary\_contact\_id)** is required. Place the secondary\_contact\_ids  in the request body.

**Contact Ids** can be found by going to the Acquire platform and hovering over a contact's name in `Contact List` or by using the endpoint **GET** All Contacts.

If a secondary merge's contact details are different from the primary contact details, both contact details will be preserved on the primary contact profile. For example, if a secondary merge contact has an email that differs from their primary email, both emails will be preserved on the primary contact profile after the merge.
