Support for Click & Collect orders in Bonus Campaigns
(RTL-1875)
It is possible to use a coupon from a bonus campaign for Click & Collect orders and Web orders that are reserved before they are paid. Example: When a bonus campaign is active during a weekend, e.g. all members get 30% bonus on all purchases. If a customer reserves an order during this time period and pay for the order after the bonus campaign is over and the order is picked up in store, the member will receive the 30% bonus reward (even though the campaign has ended - because the order was reserved during the campaign period).
"Activating" member campaign not possible to stop
(RTL-2009)
It is possible to stop standard campaign when campaign has "Activating" status by using Stop Campaign button.
That means after stopping standard member campaign that has "Activating" status and activation is not ongoing such campaign is being transitioned into "Draft" status and possible to activate once again. However when standard member campaign that has activating status is being stopped at the time of its exact activation such campaign is being transitioned into "Cancelled" status and not possible to activate once again.
Process Target Group Before Email Sendout
(RTL-1967)
In order to send out email campaigns to members closer to the schedule time, the segment begins processing in MailChimp upon activation of the member campaign.
Technical details
When creating StandardCampaign and planning its distribution to be sent at an exact time in the future CampaignDistributionJob triggers the new method in CampaignDistributionCommands - PrepareDistributionChannel for any distribution from active standard campaign that is valid (has a segment and is in status = Ready. And current time is before SentAt time of distribution). The SegmentExportJob in MailChimpIntegration handles PrepareDistributionChannel event, exports segment from distribution but do not send it yet. When the time of actual distribution has come CampiagnDistributionJob finds and informs about the member segment that is ready for dstribution. After that SegmentExportJob starts to send the distribution.
The new column 'PreparedTimeStamp' was correctly added to Campaign.DistributionChannel table.
All translations for the new statuses will be provided in English, Norwegian and Swedish

Timeframe in Member Campaigns
(RTL-1506)

User can use the times from the list or type individual time (format HH:MM is acceptable only).
The start and end times have been added to the campaign offers as well. The built-in logic validate the correct set times (for example if campaign is one day only, then start time should be lower than the end time).
When user set the campaign + campaign offer start / end datetimes and then the user changed the campaign start/end datetimes, the campaign offer period will be restarted to 'Same as the campaign period'.
The coupons which comes from the campaign offers will have also the valid times, the same like set in the campaign offers.

Member Events
(RTL-1811)
