Project Overview:
We need an experienced developer or team to integrate WhatsApp Business API with an AI chatbot that will automate shift updates, inquiries, and workforce communication for our part-time employees. The system must also sync with Google Sheets to log shift requests in real time and automatically notify WhatsApp groups for different outlet locations.

Key Features & Requirements:
✅ 1. AI-Powered WhatsApp Chatbot

Workers send shift-related messages via WhatsApp.
AI bot understands and categorizes messages (e.g., "I’m late", "I need to swap my shift").
Auto-responds to common questions (e.g., "What’s my schedule?").
Flags urgent messages for manual review.
✅ 2. Google Sheets Integration

Logs shift updates with details:
Timestamp | Worker Name | Outlet | Shift Date | Shift Time | Request Type | Status
Updates shift change requests automatically.
Filters available replacements when a worker cancels.
✅ 3. WhatsApp Group Auto-Notifications

If a worker modifies/cancels a shift, AI posts updates in the relevant WhatsApp group.

Managers receive real-time alerts for urgent shift changes.
Option to approve/reject requests via WhatsApp.
