If you want a certain number of customers to book the same appointment - one time slot with one employee, you need to set the Maximum capacity of the service to be that desired number and then enable the option Allow booking below minimum capacity: in Amelia -> Settings -> Appointments.
If this option is disabled when the min is set that time slot will be closed for booking for other customers, and if it is enabled more (separate) customers can book the same time slot until the maximum capacity is reached. You can read more about the appointments settings here.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to set max limit of time slots in recurring appointments.
However, probably this functionality can be achieved not with recurring appointments but with packages. Packages of Services is a feature that allows creating packages of multiple appointments (of the same or different services). In that case, the services that are included in the package and the number of appointments will be fixed, and the price will be set for the whole package. You can see more information here.
Please note that the Packages feature is only available for Amelia Pro and Developer licenses.
Actually i manage a treetop adventure park (1 activity/1employee), i need to allow bookings for each week days , these days have time slots and each time slot is limited in quantity (30 persons maxi).
So could i set day with the good time slots and repeat it all the year ?
For this use-case you would only need to set your employee and service, set the work hours per day and the maximum capacity per time slot (set the duration of the service to match the duration of a time slot to avoid any issues). Once set it will stay like this indefinitely or until you decide to make any changes.
You can only set up Events without having any employees or services. Please have a look at our documentation for more detailed information.
Please note that at the moment, only Weekly, Monthly or Yearly recurring events exist in the plugin. You would need to create an event which spans across one week, and then set the recurrence to be weekly if you want to have it available every day..

Tell me if i am wrong but with event i can't select time slot on a calendar, right ?
and that is what i need.
thanks
Unfortunately not, the only way to do this is to create different events for different time periods.
Do let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
