Schedule flash sales and repeat them as runs

A flash sale with a later start is scheduled and goes live by itself, with its announcement sent at the start. A sale can be repeated as runs that stay together on one card, like course cohorts.

## Schedule a flash sale

Pick a start date and time later than now, and the sale is scheduled instead of
published straight away:

- The last button reads **Schedule flash sale** (or **Schedule & queue
  announcement**), and the review step says when the sale goes live and when it
  ends, in your venue's time.
- The sale goes live by itself at the start. Before that, clients cannot buy it.
- If you send an announcement, it goes out when the sale goes live, not when you
  schedule it.
- The flash sales page shows **Scheduled · goes live** with the date and time.
- Deactivating a scheduled sale also cancels its announcement if it has not been
  sent yet.

## Repeat a sale as runs

Like the cohorts of a course, one flash sale can now have several runs over
time, so the flash sales page no longer fills up with near-identical cards.

- On a published sale, choose **Add run**. You can give the run a name, such as
  "October".
- The run copies the offer terms, products and presentation. It starts when the
  latest run ends (or at the next quarter hour if every run has ended) and lasts
  as long as the run you added it from.
- The run is a private draft. Review its dates, then publish or schedule it.
- Each run has its own promo code, spot limit and results. Runs of the same
  products cannot overlap.
- The flash sales page shows one card per sale, with the live or next run, a run
  selector and how many runs it has. Drafts still show up under the Draft filter.
- When you replace a running sale with a copy, the copy joins that sale's runs.
- A scheduled run's own link opens its page, which says when it starts. Only a
  link to a sale that has ended forwards clients to the live run.

**Duplicate** still starts a separate sale, for when you want different terms.
Runs are managed in web admin; the Business app keeps showing each sale as today.

Replace a running flash sale in one step

When a copy of a running flash sale for the same products is published, staff can replace the running sale: it ends and the copy goes live at the same moment, and spots left carry over.
