Constituent Importer for Capvoice

# When the customer uploads an Excel file,
# we generate a unique ID for the file and
# store it on our AWS/S3 jobs bucket.

# and our background workers execute the job as follows
class ConstituentImporter < Struct.new(:job_object_id)
extend ActiveSupport::Memoizable
include Capbot::Importer::Filterable # add before, after filters
include Capbot::Importer::Encodable # wraps the job, making sure our server doesn't get stuck in binary mode
include Capbot::Sourceable
include Capbot::Manageable # automatically scale our Heroku workers, saving us money
force_encoding 'ASCII-8BIT' # spreadsheets are binary files, not text
