The GoMeddo Widget allows users to configure either the creation of a Contact or Lead when a reservation is created. Users can configure this in the Configuration page: welcome.GoMeddo.com/business/{name}/configure/settings

On this page, we describe the creation of Reservations with the Lead configuration.

Salesforce allows users to configure duplicate rules which are used by the GoMeddo Widget when creating the Leads. Please read the Salesforce documentation of the managing duplicate records here: Manage Duplicate Records and subsection Duplicate Rules

In this documentation we assume you will apply the standard duplicate rules provided by Salesforce in your org.

Leads with Duplicate Contacts

The GoMeddo Widget allows you to create reservations with Lead records. When creating Leads there are usually two situations:

  • Always create a new lead when a Reservation is created

  • Only create a new lead when there is no duplicate contact from a converted lead

The table below shows the behaviour of the duplicate rule when using Leads to create Reservations
