Instructions
In order to better identify any shared customers we may have, we have decided to compare our customer lists encoded as MD5 Hashes. By encoding our respective customer lists in MD5 Hashes, we will be able to compare customer lists without disclosing any customer info (including customer name). In order to standardize both of our customer lists, and thus increase the likelihood of finding shared customers, please format your customer list in the following way before encoding it:
- Instead of encoding the company names (ie Google, Inc), please encode the customer URL (google.com)
- When encoding the URL, only include the domain without any prefixes (ie http://, www., etc). For example, http://www.google.com would be shortened to just google.com.
- The domain must all be lowercase. For example, HRwinners.com would be changed to hrwinners.com.
- The domain cannot have any extra spaces or tabs before or after it.
- Please remove any ‘/’ at the end of the domain. For example, you would remove the ‘/’ at the end of google.com/, and it would become google.com.
- (note: if you do not format your customer list exactly as outlined, we will be unable to find customer matches since both lists must be encoded using the same format. MD5 Hashes encode every character, and even the smallest differences in a domain will result in a very different hash.)
Once you have properly formatted your customer domain list, please encode the domains in MD5 hashes and save them in an excel file. If you need help encoding your customer list, your marketing or development team may be able to help.
Once your customer list has been encoded properly, please upload it using the form, and we will compare that list to our own encoded customer list and notify you with any shared customers we identify.
Please reach out if you have any questions! We are excited to identify our shared customers to bring them the power of our integration.
Thanks,
The Partner Team
