Elfbot 3000
Takes a list of people from a CSV file and randomly generates secret santa mappings. Sends text messages (SMS) to everyone. That's it. Also it supports "groups". People within a group won't get someone within the same group as secret santa. Also it's anonymous, the organizer won't know who has whom.
NOTE: Requires Twilio account
Setup
Set up the necessary environment variables with your information from the Twilio dashboard.

Install dependencies via pip install -r requirements.txt
CSV format
Name,PhoneNumber,GroupId,Language
Buffalo,+456123789,1,en
Mortimer,+123789456,2,en
Otto,+237894561,2,en
Wilson,+123456789,3,de
In this example, because Mortimer and Otto have the same group ID, they won't get each other as secret santa.
