How do I register participants efficiently or share the sign-up link?

Your draw is going to bring a lot of people together (say 10-20 people or more)? You have 2 options:

Option 1 - Register the participants yourself

Gather the list of first names / last names and email addresses, then enter them on the draw creation page (or import a CSV file if there are lots of them).
Email addresses can be added later: they're only required when you send the invitations.

Note 1: the same email address can be used for several participants (an email shared by a couple, someone without an email, etc.).

Note 2: here's a CSV file template. Edit it, then copy and paste its content into the import area of the Start a Secret Santa page.

Option 2 - Share a sign-up link (WhatsApp, email, social media)

Let participants sign up themselves through a sign-up page dedicated to your event. You get the link right after creating the event.
Each person enters their name and signs in with one click (Google, Apple, LinkedIn, Facebook) or with their email.

Note 1: as long as the invitations haven't been sent, you stay in control to edit the sign-ups and check that everyone is registered.

Note 2: once the invitations are sent, the list is locked (you can still add or remove a participant, with a few restrictions).
