# GetMergeCasesStatus
<a name="API_connect-cases_GetMergeCasesStatus"></a>

Returns the merge status of a case. Use this operation to track a merge that you started with [StartMergeCases](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/APIReference/API_connect-cases_StartMergeCases.html), or to check whether a case is part of a merge before you modify it.

The operation returns the following, depending on the case:
+ For the primary case or the secondary case of a merge that is running, it returns `IN_PROGRESS`.
+ For a case that was merged into another case as the secondary case, it returns `COMPLETED`.
+ For any other case, it returns a `ResourceNotFoundException`. This includes the primary case after its merge finishes.

 **Endpoints**: See [Connect Customer endpoints and quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/connect_region.html).
