Aaron Bauman 15 Why does upsert on Contact.Email work?
In my new sandbox org, upsert on Contact.Email is working somehow, even though I did not expect it to.
I'm using Contact.Email just like a external id + unique key, even though it's not set that way, for upserts and read-by-external-id operations.
Maybe it's Nonprofit Starter Pack?
Another other add-on?
I stumbled across this completely by accident.
I didn't even know it was possible for apps or packages to intercept an upsert request in this way.
Does anyone know anything about this?

According to all the documentation I can find, the field must be marked "external id" or "idlookup" to be used for upsert.
Indexing is not mentioned at all as any part of this criteria.
