Required Settings

Configuration Format

The StoresAndSpecialInterests property uses a pipe-separated format:

StoreId1:Interest1,Interest2|StoreId2:Interest3,Interest4

Example:

21:EuroNo,ShoeGall|22:EuroNo,ShoeGall|51:Premium

This assigns:

• Store 21 members get interests "EuroNo" and "ShoeGall"
• Store 22 members get interests "EuroNo" and "ShoeGall"
• Store 51 members get interest "Premium"

Behavior

What It Does

1. Parses the store-to-interests mapping from configuration
2. Finds new members (registered since last run) from configured stores
3. For each matching member:
   • Checks if interests are already assigned
   • Adds missing interests to the member's interest list
4. Updates member records with new interests

Interest Assignment

• Interests are additive (won't remove existing interests)
• Only adds interests that aren't already present
• Processes members from configured stores only

Prerequisites

• Customer Club must be enabled
• StoresAndSpecialInterests must be properly formatted in Properties

Side Effects

• Updates member interest lists
• Does not remove existing interests
