Is there any way (api hooks or any other) to let the user select a start time of hourly increments instead of split up?
For example: I'm using it to book hourly rehearsal rooms. We are open from 10am - 11pm. Let's say a user wants to book a room for 3 hours. It will only let them choose 4 starting times in the day. I want them to be able to pick any starting time that's not booked. So, instead of just 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, etc. I want them to have 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, etc available if they aren't booked. How can I do that?
Also, I need to be able to force 3 hour minimums after 7pm to book. I have some other options I need to code in as well so I'm hoping there is some sort of an api or hooks I can grab.

How can I do that? - If your service last for 3 hours you can show them on every hours, 15 minutes 5 minutes, etc. You need to go to seetings/general settings and turn off the option called Use service duration for booking a time slot and then you need to adjust default time slot step.
If you set it to one hour you will show your services on every hours. This should help.
3. Also, I need to be able to force 3 hour minimums after 7pm to book - We are not sure what you want to achieve here. There is no option to force someone to book some hours. You can create service that lasts 3 hours and assigne employee to work on that service only after 7 pm. In that way they will be able only to book a service that lasts 3 hours.
As for hooks, these are all the hooks that we have:
Amelia currently has the following hooks:
<script>
window.ameliaActions = {
ViewContent: function (success = null, error = null, data) {
//triggered when the form loads
console.log('ViewContent HOOK')
console.log(data)
console.log('------------')
},
SelectService: function (success = null, error = null, data) {
//triggered when the service is selected/changed in the form
console.log('SelectService HOOK')
console.log(data)
console.log('------------')
},
SelectEmployee: function (success = null, error = null, data) {
//triggered when the employee is selected/changed in the form
console.log('SelectEmployee HOOK')
console.log(data)
console.log('------------')
},
SelectLocation: function (success = null, error = null, data) {
//triggered when the location is selected/changed in the form
console.log('SelectLocation HOOK')
console.log(data)
console.log('------------')
},
SelectCategory: function (success = null, error = null, data) {
//triggered when the category is selected/changed in the form
console.log('SelectCategory HOOK')
console.log(data)
console.log('------------')
},
SelectPackage: function (success = null, error = null, data) {
//triggered when the package is selected/changed in the form
console.log('SelectPackage HOOK')
console.log(data)
console.log('------------')
},
InitiateCheckout: function (success = null, error = null, data) {
//triggered once the customer lands on the "info" page where they fill in their details
console.log('InitiateCheckout HOOK')
console.log(data)
console.log('------------')
},
Schedule: function (success = null, error = null, data) {
//triggered once the 'on-site' booking is completed
console.log('Schedule HOOK')
console.log(data)
console.log('------------')
},
Purchased: function (success = null, error = null, data) {
//triggered once an online booking is completed
console.log('Purchased HOOK')
console.log(data)
console.log('------------')
},
beforeBooking: function (success = null, error = null, data) {
//triggered when the "Confirm" button is clicked but before the booking is completed.
//This hook currently doesn't work for Mollie and WooCommerce payments
console.log('Before booking is created HOOK')
console.log(data)
console.log('------------')
},
}

These are the same hooks used in Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel integrations, but if you need some other hooks added, please let us know which ones and explain what they would contain and when they should be triggered.
Thanks. This is a huge help. That service duration tip fixed that. Now I need to set it so that certain members can only book x number of hours per week. I think I can do that through using membership roles from another plugin as well as the hooks you provided.
You are most welcome, and we are glad that we were able to help you. Hopefully, you will manage to achieve what you need. If you have any more questions please open another ticket and we will gladly help you there.
