    only the "No." field is checked for duplicates as standard. If you happen to find duplicates though you can merge them to one record later: docs.microsoft.com/.../sales-how-merge-duplicate-records

    In the contacts area there are more standard tools to duplicate searching - however they are retrospective not as you key in.

    This could be a good use case for approvals

    Hi Josh, thank you for reply.

    Because the No. field is not in Dataverse's account table, I'm not able to get the account record in Power Automate using customer's No..
