Using a new Contact field as the key (which is not the email address)

Hello

We must be able to store multiple records for each Contact with the same email address.

Is it possible to 'change' the key to email to something else?

More specifically, the key can be changed to a new "Unique_Id" I'll add as a new field of Contact?

In some examples of c# code, I notice that it is possible to define the 'identifierFieldName' during the import of Contact definition, which sort of implies that areas other than the e-mail address could be used as a key.

If it is possible to create a new primary key field, the attributes that he should have and how I declare that it is the key when you perform an import of contact?

If it is not possible, I guess I'll create a separate custom object / data card with a number to 1 relationship with the Contact record.

Thank you

Chris

Hi Chris,

I am a PM to Eloqua. We are looking at ways that we can open a little more to the top of the contact table and remove the email address of contact as a unique key. Pieces of this feature are beginning to enter the place later this year. What we will do is remove the address of e-mail as a unique ID and using the system generated ID of contact. When you import, you specify which field you want to use as criteria for filtering.

In the short term, if that makes sense, I would recommend using custom objects and linking those to the correct contact.
