Company Object

Unique Identifier Field for Company Object (Prevent Duplicates)
Feature Request: Unique Identifier for Company Object For agencies and businesses working in B2B environments, the Company object is the primary entity inside the CRM. However, there is currently no reliable way to prevent duplicate company records. Right now, company duplication happens even when: The company has the same contact The company has the same name The name is intended to behave as a unique identifier but is not consistently enforced Using the company name as the unique ID is not practical, especially internationally. In many regions (including Latin countries), small differences such as: Accents Abbreviations Legal suffixes (SRL, LLC, SA, etc.) Formatting variations cause the system to treat the same business as different companies. This leads to: Fragmented communication history Broken automations Inaccurate reporting Sales confusion Data integrity issues at scale 💡 Proposed Solution Allow users to define a custom field in the Company object as a "Unique Identifier", similar to how email works for contacts. This field could be used for: Tax ID / Fiscal ID Business registration number Company phone number Any custom-defined identifier Expected Behavior When a new company is created (form, API, manual entry, import, workflow), the system should check this field. If the value already exists → update the existing company instead of creating a new one. Prevent duplicate creation when the unique ID matches. Why This Matters For B2B CRMs, data integrity at the company level is critical. Without a true unique identifier, agencies and businesses managing thousands of companies face constant duplication, cleanup work, and unreliable reporting. This feature would dramatically improve scalability, automation reliability, and CRM data quality for all B2B users.
