# How to set the frequency of the Auto Merge

## How to Set or Increase the Frequency of Auto Merge in Delpha

Delpha allows you to automate the merge of duplicate records using the **Auto Merge** feature. To ensure the process runs regularly, you need to schedule the underlying Apex job in Salesforce.

Follow the steps below to configure or increase the frequency of this automation.

## Steps to Schedule the Auto Merge Job

1. **Go to Salesforce Setup**
   * Click the gear icon in the top-right corner and select **Setup**.
2. **Find Apex Classes**
   * In the **Quick Find** search bar, type **Apex Classes**.
   * Select **Apex Classes** from the list.
3. **Schedule the Merge Job**
   * Click the **Schedule Apex** button.
   * In the list of Apex classes, select:\
     `DDQ_DuplicateRecord_AutoMerge`
4. **Set Frequency**
   * Configure the job to **run daily** (or at your preferred interval).

> Once scheduled, Delpha will automatically merge eligible duplicate records based on the confidence threshold defined in your Duplicate Settings.
