# Resolve Import Contacts

`POST /api/contacts/import-resolve-existing`

Resolve browser-import candidates through the canonical identity policy.

The authenticated org is the only scope accepted. Unmatched or ambiguous
candidates are omitted so the browser can continue its existing insert
flow; returned matches are safe to treat as existing Contacts.
