An administrator configured a custom matching rule to identify duplicate Account records based on custom registration numbers. During testing, duplicate Accounts are successfully blocked when created manually through the Salesforce user interface. However, an automated bulk import using Data Loader continues creating duplicate Account records without failing or raising errors. What configuration change in the Duplicate Rule is required to prevent duplicate creation during bulk data imports?
- Change the Action on Create setting in the Duplicate Rule from Allow (with Alert) to Block.Cevap
- BDeactivate and re-activate the Matching Rule so that API endpoints refresh their cached matching logic.
- CAdd the Data Loader user's profile to the Matching Rule filter criteria exemptions.
- DEnable Field-Level Security for the custom registration number field on the integration user profile.
Cevap
Change the Action on Create setting in the Duplicate Rule from Allow (with Alert) to Block.
Salesforce Duplicate Rules treat interactive user interface requests differently from non-interactive API requests (such as Data Loader imports). When a Duplicate Rule is configured with 'Allow' on create with 'Alert' enabled, human users in the browser see a duplicate warning prompt, but API operations bypass alerts and insert the record. To stop API calls and Data Loader imports from creating duplicate records, the Duplicate Rule's Action on Create must be explicitly configured to 'Block'.
