Some apps and bots promise to draw names inside WhatsApp, but most end up posting something in the group or asking someone to send the results privately.
With a draw link, the group only sees the invitation; each person's result goes to their email and their personal link.
Step by step, from group chat to draw
1. Agree on the date and budget
Before setting up the draw, agree on gift day and the budget in the group. A WhatsApp poll lets people choose between two or three dates without a hundred messages. Once that's settled, create the exchange in Cuchumbo.
2. Share the link and pin it
Paste the invitation link in the group. Each person opens it, enters their name and email and, if they like, a few hints about what they'd enjoy. Nobody installs anything or creates an account. Pin the message so it doesn't get buried.
4. The chat, for everything else
After the draw, the group goes back to its usual job: confirming the venue, sharing gift-day photos. Ask everyone not to post who they got, even as a joke. The app sends reminders before the date, so you don't have to nag in the chat.
Tips for the group
Set a sign-up deadline and post it with the link. If someone replies late, you can still add them and shake again: anyone who has seen their result keeps it. And if someone rarely checks email, ask them to bookmark their personal link.
Create the link for your group
Create the exchange, paste the link in the group and wait for people to join. When you run the draw, everyone gets their result by email and on their personal link. Free, no account.
