Using Twilio API, send each Santa their Santee's name directly to their phone. Supports no-match 1-way and 2-way.
['Chris', 'Johnny']
Chris, the Santa, will not be given Johnny as their Santee. However, Johnny as a Santa can get Chris as a Santee. The purpose of this is to not get a repeat of a previous year(s) match.
['Jordan', 'Johnny']
Jordan and Johnny are brothers, will not be given each other at all.
