- For `update` and `upsert`, the query request used to determine whether the record already exists in Salesforce counts as one API call. A second API call is used to update or create that record.

### Why do I see duplicate records in Salesforce?
95+
When using the `create` operation, it's possible for duplicate records to be created in Salesforce. This is because Segment retries records once they hit the internal timeout. It's possible Salesforce's REST API eventually processes the original record in addition to the retried record, resulting in duplicates. You may encounter this behavior if Salesforce's REST API throttles your records (for example, due to hitting API limits or complex workflow automation). To prevent duplicates, you can use [Duplicate Rules](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=duplicate_rules_map_of_reference.htm&language=en_US){:target="_blank"} in Salesforce. See set up information in [Resolve and Prevent Duplicate Data in Salesforce](https://trailhead.salesforce.com/content/learn/modules/sales_admin_duplicate_management/sales_admin_duplicate_management_unit_2){:target="_blank"}.

Please note this is only a concern when using the `create` operation. You can use the `upsert` operation instead to avoid duplicates if `upsert` meets your needs.
