Customizing record matching in TX Forms

By default, TX Forms matches First Name, Last Name, and Email. TX Forms can be configured to include additional matching on the Question widget when creating General or Events TX Forms. When adding fields, select the toggle for Use for Matching to include the field in Contact Matching.

The matching logic works as follows:

  • First Name, Last Name, and Email will default to ON for Use for Matching.
  • When Use for Matching fields match exactly, that record is used as a record to update instead of creating a new record.
  • A new record will be created if no fields are included for Use For Matching.
  • If any matching fields are left blank, the field is dropped from consideration and only the remaining Use For Matching fields are considered.
  • If more than one record matches, the record with the most recently created date will be updated.
  • For Contact child records, the record must be related to the Contact record to match.
    • If a new Contact gets created, all related child records will also be new.
    • If a Contact record matches an existing record, the system will check Child records for matching fields before creating a new child record.
  • Matching is not case-sensitive.
