Let's be Santa
ChatGPT guide

Skip manual setup for complicated rules — describe them in ChatGPT

When you organize a draw for a company, class, team, or large family, you can provide roles and restrictions in natural language. ChatGPT checks whether the setup is possible, creates the event, and returns a link for your group.

Works with ChatGPT

Create an event from a detailed ChatGPT prompt

Describe groups, roles, gift budget, and date in your own words. ChatGPT can prepare a Let's be Santa event, generate exclusions automatically, and return a shareable link — still without participant emails or accounts.

Example chat
You

create an event named “Forks & Corks” for my work team, where I have cooks, waiters, and bartenders. Members of each role cannot draw people from the same group, only from other groups.

Cooks: Anna, Ben, Cara, David, Eva

Waiters: Finn, Grace, Hugo, Iris, Jack

Bartenders: Kate, Leo, Maya, Noah, Olivia

budget up to 100 PLN, event on the first Thursday of June.

ChatGPT

I’ll prepare this as an office event, with a 100 PLN gift budget and the date June 4, 2026, which is the first Thursday of June 2026. First I’ll check whether the role restrictions are feasible.

The event can be created with these rules.

Summary:

Name: Forks & Corks

Type: office event

Date: June 4, 2026

Gift budget: 100 PLN

Participants: 15 people

Exclusion rules: people in the same role cannot draw each other — in other words, neither person in such a pair can draw the other.

Groups:

Cooks: Anna, Ben, Cara, David, Eva

Waiters: Finn, Grace, Hugo, Iris, Jack

Bartenders: Kate, Leo, Maya, Noah, Olivia

Please confirm that I should create the event with these settings.

How to use it

1

Describe the event and groups

Share the name, occasion, date, budget, and participant lists — for example cooks, waiters, and bartenders.

2

Add exclusion rules

Write who should not be able to draw whom. ChatGPT turns role rules into concrete exclusions between people.

3

Confirm creation

Before saving, you get a summary: date, currency, participant count, and rules. After confirmation you receive a link.

4

Share the link without collecting contacts

Participants choose themselves from the list and reveal their match once. We do not need their emails or phone numbers.

Why it helps organizers

The biggest time saver is automatic exclusion generation: instead of manually clicking every same-role pair, you describe the rule once. The public link still does not expose the draw graph, and the reveal endpoint keeps one-time match checking.

FAQ

Do participants need to log in to ChatGPT?

No. ChatGPT is only a way for the organizer to create the event. Participants receive a normal Let's be Santa link.

Does ChatGPT show all drawn pairs?

We do not publicly expose the full match map. After creation, each participant still reveals only their own match and only once.

Can I use this without ChatGPT?

Yes. The Let's be Santa event form still works normally and lets you set participants and exclusions manually.
