SocialSecturityNumberAsText is added to customer updates and the employeeMerger job has been extended to support SocialSecurityNumberAsText while processing CustomerUpdatedEvent. When SocialSecurityNumberAsText does not exist in Lindbak Loyalty database, then a new member with customer data is created. When SocialSecurityNumberAsText is assigned already to member, then customer is linked to the member. This solved a problem with importing customers from 3rd party systems with SSN.
