Summary
We have built a Secret Santa bot that receives messages, processes them and replies to the users. The bot uses Twilio's WhatsApp API and Flask as the backend framework. It models a database to store the Secret Santa event and its participants. We tested our bot code using pytest and verified its functionality with several test cases.
