Double Phone Number Blocking

Question

Our priority is Name Surname and Phone Number while we are creating a New Individual Entry However when the same info is written, the system doesn't give a warning, which causes to create new accounts with the existed info beforehand. to solve this problem i have examined this essay below but i haven't got the desired results. https://civicrm.org/blog/spidersilk/understanding-civicrm-dedupe-rules

What i want is that the system shall not let me to create New Individual Entry if there is this phone number in somebody's profile already.

Could you please launch a "Matching Rule for Individual Contacts" to this.

Answer 1

Go to Contacts > Find and Merge Duplicate Contacts > Add Rule for Individuals and create a 'Supervised' rule - eg:

This probably only works for 'primary' phones rather than checking against all phones of a contact, but unless you have multiple phone numbers per contact, it should do what you need.

Answer 2

What Aidan said, but don't forget to use the Phone Number Validator extension to keep them clean and consistent!

Answer 3

Thanks for information. But.

I've done this before. There is no conclusion. I have the following two examples. Allows registration to be opened even though the First Name and Number match.

It may come different because I make it in Turkish on the screen. :)

Notice that the same name and number are the same. But the new individual recording was opened.

Answer 4

"PHONE NUMBER VALIDATION" in order to be able to use it, it is necessary for Turkey to support the countries.
