Salesforce Merge Accounts URL Hacking

The Merge Accounts page is OK to use, however to start the process you have to search for the Accounts you want to merge, and to do that they have to have the same name. This is not always the case, and it can be annoying to have to rename an account, just so you can find it to merge it. The official SFDC selection screen also limits you to a max of 3 accounts. This isn't actually a hard limit... More of a guide, as you'll see below. Instead of this, you can actually hack the URL to include the IDs of any accounts, regardless of Account Name similarity. This is especially useful if you are using your own code to manage merges and would like to "deep link" into the SFDC platform. Here's an example URL: https://emea.salesforce.com/merge/accmergewizard.jsp?goNext=+Next+&cid=001200000012345&cid=001200000012346&cid=001200000012347&cid=001200000012348 It can be broken down into 3 main segments: The Merge Accounts page URL: https://emea.sale...
