Primary Address Criteria

A constituent can only have one primary email address. In the Primary email criteria field, you select whether to preserve the primary indicator on the source or target’s primary email address. If you select “Target’s Primary Address,” the merge task associates the source’s primary email address with the target but preserves the primary indicator on the target’s primary email address. If you select “Source’s Primary Address,” the merge task preserves the primary indicator on the source’s primary email address.

Warning: If you select “Source’s Primary Address” in the Primary email criteria field and select Exclude duplicate email addresses and the source’s primary email address is a duplicate of a target email address, the merge task preserves the target’s primary email address. In this case, the target’s primary email address keeps its primary indicator.
