Prevent Saving Duplicate Contact Email Addresses to Customer Records via SuiteScript

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:40PM in Ask A Guru 8 comments

Hello!

We'd like to disallow the creation of new contacts if an existing contact has the same email address. I found 2 SuiteAnswers articles that have code that will accomplish that.

  1. Prevent Saving Duplicate Contact Email Addresses to Customer Records via SuiteScript: https://suiteanswers.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/63181/loc/en_US

When I added this one (1.0) , it works as expected when trying to add a duplicate contact. I can add new contacts with a different email address. However, when I try to delete a contact I get the same error (You have an existing Contact with this email address). Is there something missing from this code that will allow me to delete contacts?
