Bulk actions & merging
Act on many people at once from the People table — merge duplicates into one record, add a company, tag, star, or forget in a batch — and let Dhaga surface likely duplicates for you.
Your People list isn't only for browsing. Select several people and act on them in one go, or fold two records of the same person into a single one.
Select people
On /app/people, every row has a checkbox, and the header checkbox selects
everyone on the current page. Your selection sticks as you page through the
table, so you can gather people across several pages before acting. The moment
one person is selected, a bulk-action bar appears.
Act on the selection
With people selected, the bar offers:
- Merge — combine two or more records of the same person into one (needs at least two selected). See below.
- Add to company — attach everyone to a company at once; pick an existing one or create it inline.
- Tag — add or remove a tag across the whole selection.
- Star / Unstar — flag or unflag people for your Saved list.
- Delete — forget the selected people. This cascades — their notes, facts, edges, and embeddings go too — exactly like "forget this person" on a single profile.
Merge duplicate contacts
Met the same person twice — a card scan and a LinkedIn import, say — and now they're two records? Merge folds them into one:
- Select the records and click Merge (or start from Find duplicates, below).
- Pick the survivor — the record everything else folds into.
- Resolve conflicts. Where records disagree on a single-value field — name, nickname, or location — you choose which value wins. Fields where they already agree don't ask.
- Everything that can hold more than one value is combined onto the survivor: emails, phones, links, addresses, important dates, custom fields, tags, jobs, notes, facts, and relationship edges. Nothing is dropped.
The other records are then permanently deleted. It all happens in a single step — either the whole merge lands or nothing changes.
Merging can't be undone
The records you merge away are hard-deleted, with no undo — the same model as "forget this person." Their data lives on in the survivor, but the separate records are gone. Make sure you've picked the right survivor first.
Find duplicates
You don't have to spot duplicates yourself. The Find duplicates link in the
People page header opens /app/people/duplicates, which groups likely
duplicates it notices — by a shared email, a shared phone, or a
similar name — into clusters. Each cluster has a Review & merge button
that opens the merge dialog prefilled with that group, so cleaning up is two
clicks.
Companies have the same tools — view, merge, and dedupe them on the Companies page.
Importing contacts
Bring an existing address book into Dhaga — from a .vcf or CSV file, a one-click Google or Outlook connection, or the contacts already on your phone.
Notes & facts
Add notes to a person by typing or voice; Dhaga extracts structured facts automatically (or add facts and follow-ups by hand — no AI needed), keeps a receipt on each, and cascades deletions.
