Hi ,

my requirement is to merge account records with same name . after merge i will store the deleted record value in another object  . the deleted record which will store in new object will have the id of the master record of account to which it is merged .

When merge event occurs, in the deleted records, MasterRecordId field will be populated with the winning record id. The winning record will be updated with the values selected.

In the below trigger, when accounts are merged, then deleted record's Name and Website will be stored in Account Backup custom object.

Sample Trigger:

trigger AccountMergeTrigger on Account (after delete) {
    List<Account_Backup__c> listAccountBackup = new List<Account_Backup__c>();
    for(Account acct : trigger.old) {
        if(String.isNotBlank(acct.MasterRecordId)) { 
            listAccountBackup.add(new Account_Backup__c(Name = acct.Name, Website__c = acct.Website));  
        }         
    }
    if(listAccountBackup.size() > 0) {
        insert listAccountBackup;
    }    
}
