Adding a new 'tag everyone' whatsapp bot [GSSOC '23]

[anuraganand92]

Description:

This GitHub issue proposes adding a WhatsApp Group Tagging Bot to the repository. The bot, developed in Python using Selenium, will automate the process of tagging everyone in a WhatsApp group.

Implementation:

The bot will utilize Selenium for web automation and interact with the WhatsApp web interface. It will send a message that tags all members in the group, saving time and effort.

Expected Outcome:

The WhatsApp Group Tagging Bot will effectively tag all members in a WhatsApp group, ensuring they receive a notification. As the GSSOC '23 contributor, I will implement this feature and welcome any suggestions or enhancements to the bot's functionality.
