Tips for Mass Updating Addresses

To save time and ensure that your filter settings are up-to-date, use these tips when you mass update country/territory and state/province information in existing address fields.

Required Editions

Available in: Salesforce Classic
Available in: All Editions except for Database.com.
  • Update countries and territories first, and then update states or provinces within that newly standardized country or territory value.
  • Use the mass updating address tool to convert inconsistent address formats to one international standard, such as ISO codes. For a list of ISO codes, see the International Organization for Standardization website.
  • Use the mass updating tool regularly to cleanse your address data of inconsistent values created by users or via import, sync, or the Lightning Platform API.
  • You can manually create any country/territory or state/province value or import or sync via the Lightning Platform API. Address values are not validated when created.
  • Update filter conditions to reflect address updates. For example, if you change “United States” to “US,”, assignment rules, Web-to-Lead, Web-to-Case, Email-to-Case, and On-Demand Email-to-Case continue to use “United States” unless updated.
