The matchRecord(SObject recordA, SObject recordB) method evaluates the similarity between two Salesforce records based on the configured Plauti Deduplicate scenarios. It returns a numeric score indicating how closely the records match.

Method Signature

Method Name: matchRecord

static Integer matchRecord(SObject recordA, SObject recordB)

Parameters

• The records must belong to the same Salesforce object type (e.g., Contact, Account).

Apex Example

This snippet retrieves two Contact records from Salesforce, logs their details, and then uses the matchRecord method from the Duplicate Check API to compare them. It calculates and logs the matching score between the two records.

// Query the records to match
Contact recordA = [SELECT FirstName, LastName, Email FROM Contact WHERE Id = '003Aa00000XVeYCIA1'];

System.debug('Record A retrieved: ' + recordA);

Contact recordB = [SELECT FirstName, LastName, Email FROM Contact WHERE Id = '003Aa00000XWU9kIAH'];

System.debug('Record B retrieved: ' + recordB);

// Execute the matchRecord method
Integer matchingScore = dupcheck.dc3Api.matchRecord(recordA, recordB);

System.debug('Matching Score between recordA and recordB: ' + matchingScore);
