Merge customers

Use this endpoint to programmatically merge two duplicate customers, effectively unifying them as one. You can choose to use this end-point to:

1. Merge 2 customers with different customer_ids

2. Update the customer_id of an existing customer in Blueshift

Note:

1. If no customers are present in our platform with either a combination of email/customer_id or bsft_new_customer_id; we will create a new user with bsft_new_customer_id.

2. If both customers exist, the profile data of the old customers will get merged to the new customer (bsft_new_customer_id).

3. If there are multiple customer profile matches, for example if you provide an email and there are multiple customers associated with that email, we will only update the most recent customer profile. In such cases, we recommend you to use the customer_id if you have multiple profiles on an email address.

4. If a customer exists with an email/customer_id, but no customer exists with bsft_new_customer_id; we will update the customer_id of the existing customer to bsft_new_customer_id.
