Cause

When you create an Appointment manually or through Migration, the Primary Contact in the Appointment is picked in below sequence:


1. Primary Contact of the Appointment is the Primary Contact or Main Contact of the Account assigned in that Appointment.
2. If there is no Main Contact, then the first Contact of that Account is picked as a Primary Contact for that assignment.

Resolution

If you want a particular contact to be the Primary Contact, then you can maintain that contact as Main in the respective Account.
