Steps

Keep a simple list of who can work which station and who wants extra hours.
When a call-out comes in, tell the bot the shift.
It ranks who to ask first (avoiding overtime) and drafts the text.
The manager sends it and confirms who covers.
Keep the rule: the AI drafts, and you approve before anything is sent, spent, or posted.
