Is it possible to add a limit of people for each reservation time?

[mau-mendes]

Hi friends, I did a quick search and didn't find anything about this, so I would like to ask... is it possible to limit the number of people for each reservation time?

For example, on a given day I have these available timeslots:
08:00 ~ 10:00
10:00 ~ 12:00
12:00 ~ 14:00
14:00 ~ 16:00
16:00 ~ 18:00

I would like to limit the number of slots for each of these timeslots, for example:

08:00 ~ 10:00 (5 reservations available)
10:00 ~ 12:00 (5 reservations available)
12:00 ~ 14:00 (5 reservations available)
14:00 ~ 16:00 (3 reservations available)
16:00 ~ 18:00 (3 reservations available)

This way all slots for a given timelot must be filled before the timelot becomes unavailable for new reservations.

Is this possible? If so, how do I do it?

Thank you very much.

Yes, it is possible to limit the number of people for each reservation time slot in cal.com. This can be achieved by using the seatsPerTimeSlot feature. You can add a column named seatsPerTimeSlot to the EventType table, which allows you to specify the maximum number of seats available for each time slot. Here is the SQL code used to add this column:

ALTER TABLE "EventType" ADD COLUMN "seatsPerTimeSlot" INTEGER;

In the application logic, the seatsPerTimeSlot value is set and checked to enforce the reservation limit. When the seatsPerTimeSlotEnabled setting is toggled on, the application sets the seatsPerTimeSlot value to a default or specified number, which determines how many reservations can be made for a particular time slot. The logic checks if the number of attendees for a slot has reached the seatsPerTimeSlot limit to determine if the booking is full ^[1][2][3].

Additionally, there is a user interface component that allows users to set the seatsPerTimeSlot value for each time slot using a TextField for input, ensuring the value is a positive number ^[2].

Validation checks are also in place to ensure that the number of reservations does not exceed the seatsPerTimeSlot limit. If the limit is reached, an error is thrown to prevent further bookings for that time slot ^[4].

@dosu I tried to add the column you mentioned, but it already existed. I am aware that I can set the maximum number of appointments per day, but it is not possible to choose for each time slot. My self-hosted version is v.4.7.8-sh.

In version v.4.7.8-sh of cal.com, the seatsPerTimeSlot feature allows you to set a limit on the number of reservations for each time slot. However, it seems that the feature does not support setting different seatsPerTimeSlot values for each individual time slot within a day. The configuration applies the same limit across all time slots for a given event type ^[1].
