Also, just to add a further note on this, you do get the same result if you use certain Wix apps like Wix Forms etc, where you will get an automatic email reply sent out to the user from Wix regardless of if you have setup your own triggered email or Wix Automation reply for example, so basically as you have stated in your post that they are getting two emails confirming the same thing.
I have a website setup that allows the MD to manually approve any new member applications by himself, however this is not done through through the backend so that the new site member request email through Wix Automation gets sent to himself directly and not to me all the time.
Then they can be manually approved by the MD and another email from Wix Automations is sent out saying that they are now a site member, if it had been done through the backend like yourself, then it would have been a no go as it would have sent out the email automatically from Wix and from the site’s own Wix Automations.
This was put to Wix Support at the start of this year and they stated then that these replies could not be turned off by ourselves, so as far as I can see, nothing has been changed as of yet and these automatic email replies are not preventable by ourselves.
However, as this is nearly the end of the year now, I would thoroughly suggest that you contact Wix Support as Yisrael has suggested and see if anything has changed since.
Although, with your setup it probably won’t be viable to turn off the new site member request and site member is now approved replies etc, as they are part and parcel of the approval procedure through the backend method.

Register a user sending an email for confirmation
This example demonstrates a common email verification flow. A user is initially registered but not yet approved. At registration, a verification email is sent with a link to a verification page. When a user goes to the verification page, the approval is granted and the user is logged into the site.
The code is split between three locations:
-
A backend web module named register.jsw .
-
The page code for the page where users register.
-
The page code for the page where users confirm their registration.

import wixUsers from ‘wix-users-backend’;
export function doRegistration(email, password, firstName, lastName) {
// register the user
return wixUsers.register(email, password, {
“contactInfo”: {
“firstName”: firstName,
“lastName”: lastName
}
} )
.then( (results) => {
// user is now registered and pending approval
// send a registration verification email
wixUsers.emailUser(‘verifyRegistration’, results.user.id, {
“variables”: {
“name”: firstName,
“verifyLink”: http://yourdomain.com/post-register?token=${results.approvalToken}

} );
} );
}
export function doApproval(token) {
// approve the user
return wixUsers.approveByToken(token)
// user is now active, but not logged in
// return the session token to log in the user client-side
.then( (sessionToken) => {
return {sessionToken, “approved”: true};
} )
.catch( (error) => {
return {“approved”: false, “reason”: error};
