These 2 emails are part of the "Merge Duplicate Candidates" process. Having said that, it is important to understand the concept of a Master Candidate Profile and Secondary Candidate Profile.

The master candidate profile is the profile retained after the merge. If there’s a conflicting data, such as differing phone numbers stored in the same cell phone number field, the data from the master candidate record is retained. Once you select a master candidate during the merge process, you will be prompted to choose whether you wish to notify the candidate of the merge activity through e-mail. There are options to notify the master candidate, secondary candidate, or both.

• The trigger called "Candidate Merge Notification - Master" is the email that will be sent to the master candidate contact email address.
• The trigger called "Candidate Merge Notification" is the email that will be sent to the secondary candidate contact email address.
