Hello Community,
We have a question/issue in concern of replicating Opt-Outs from external webforms to SAP Marketing Cloud through CPI:
Background:
In our SMC multiple contacts exist with the same mail-address. Currently we are still using SAP MC Forms for the Opting-Out-process. If an Opt-Out for Email is submitted via these forms the optout will be saved in all of the contacts that have the corresponding mail-address based on the technical origin email.
Due to some technical problems in past, we want to be independent on these SMC Opt-Out forms, so that’s why we created an Iflow in CPI. The purpose was that an Opt-Out form now also can be created externally. The provider of this form only needs to send the necessary data to CPI like:
- Mail-address
- Marketing Area
- And a trigger which is responsible for the Opt-Out
Due to our Iflow in CPI the Opt-Out permission is saved in the contact in SMC with the corresponding mail address. This was already successfully tested from our side.
But:
If multiple contacts exist with the same mail-address we receive the following message in SMC import monitor:
“Multiple contacts found for ID EMAIL …”, see screenshot:
Now our question is: Do you know how we can solve this issue? We have to ensure, that this Opt-Out integration also works properly in case of multiple contacts with same mail-address.
Additional information: We are using the following API for this integration:
API_MKT_CONTACT
Thank you and kind regards
Sören
Hello Sören,
Very basic question: why do you different contacts with the same email address? Don't you use the merge contact functionality?

Hi Sören,
Having 3 contacts with the same email address “info@-address” is not really quality data. An address of type “info@-address” refers to a mailbox and not really a dedicated contact. This is not really an address that will drive good marketing.
At this point, the strategy is really to get a proper unique email address for each contact, otherwise, it is seen as just one contact and all 3 contacts should be merged into one.
Best Regards, Isabelle
