A Swarmia contributor combines the identities from all the different systems an individual contributor interacts with. By combining the right identities you ensure work items are assigned to the right people. The identities include email addresses, user IDs, and other information from the connected tools. Swarmia automatically detects identities across the different tools and merges them. You can review contributors and manually merge and unmerge identities as needed.

A contributor associates information from all connected sources
