Find and Merge Duplicates to trigger webhook

Find and Merge Duplicates to trigger webhook

My sales team uses the Find and Merge Duplicates feature often to cleanup records in the CRM.  We use webhooks to signal to our internal tools database when new Contacts are created, updated, or deleted, in order to keep our DB in sync with Zoho CRM.  However, when a sales rep merges duplicates, it causes two webooks to fire, one for the deleted record and one for the updated record.  This causes issues in our DB as we need to updated various record relations to stop pointing to the deleted records and to point to the updated (merged) record.  I'm unable to determine if an update webhook and a delete webhook call are related to the same merge operation.  Is there a way to do this in Zoho CRM?  A custom function for merging is not an option as it requires knowing which fields to overwrite, which the Find/Merge UI provides and the sales reps will use.
