Swarmia brings together user identities from all the tools you integrate with Swarmia, and we need to know which people these identities belong to. The good news is that Swarmia automatically merges most user identities for you and removes any potential duplicates. However, reviewing your contributors and confirming that the initial data looks accurate is still a good idea.
If Swarmia detects duplicate identities that can be merged, you’ll see them on the right side of the page. We don’t always catch every duplicate, so we recommend going through the list of contributors and manually merging any remaining duplicates. You can do this by selecting two contributors from the list and clicking Merge in the space on the right.
