Compare Website URLs More Effectively When Merging Duplicates and Associating

When comparing website URLs in Insycle's Merge Duplicates module and Associate app, you can now choose to ignore the URL path—the part that comes after the domain.

This new option lets you focus on matching just the domain while ignoring everything that follows. For example, when comparing nytimes.com/puzzles/spelling-bee and nytimes.com/crosswords/daily-puzzle, you can now match these as the same website by ignoring the paths /puzzles/spelling-bee and /crosswords/daily-puzzle.

In the Merge Duplicates module: Use the Ignored setting to exclude URL Paths when identifying duplicates. For example, if you have multiple records for the same company with different regional URLs, such as servicepublic.fr/france-33/bouches-du-rhone-13 and servicepublic.fr/france-75/paris. Ignoring the URL path will treat these as duplicates of the same organization.

In the Associate app: When defining rules to match related records, select "URL Path" in the Ignored dropdown to exclude paths from comparison. For example, when associating contacts to companies, you can match contacts from perthur.com/us/western-region and perthur.com/uk/northern-region to the same parent company by ignoring their regional URL paths.
