# Merging Contacts

### Endpoint

`PATCH /contacts/merge`

### Description

Merges a list of contacts into a single contact. All contacts must be connected to the current account. All contact info (i.e. id, wallet(s), tags, discord, email, phone number, etc...) will be merged.

Conflicting information (ex: id, conflicting email addresses, etc...) will be solved by overwriting the contact of lower priority with the contact info of higher priority. Priority is assigned by the order in which the contacts are provided in the `contactIds` parameter, with contacts of higher priority coming first.

### Parameters

| Parameter  | Type                     | Description                                       |
| ---------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| contactIds | `array` of type `string` | List of at least two ids of contacts to be merged |

* **Note**: The priority of a contact is determined by the order of the contact ids, with higher priority contacts coming first.

### Returns

<table><thead><tr><th width="144">Status Code</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>200</td><td>Contacts successfully merged</td></tr><tr><td>400</td><td><code>contactIds</code> is not an array of at least 2 strings</td></tr><tr><td>404</td><td>One of the provided contact ids is invalid and/or doesn't belong to the current account</td></tr></tbody></table>
