Example: If I select 3h of availability from 11 to 14 for a 2h call, at the moment I can book only at 11 am, let me book at 11:30 or 12 or whenever within the availability.
The main reason I was interested in Akiflow initially is the ability to select time slots visually/drag and drop on my calendar to make them available for meetings - my schedule and energy aren't always the same, so having a daily time block of availability (9-5, for example) doesn't work for me, and I was pleased to see Akiflow has this feature.
However, I was really stunned when I realized Akiflow doesn’t have granular start time increments within a time slot - I highlighted a 4 hour time block for 90 minute sessions and only 2 different times were offered on my booking page - not even filling out the full time I could take these meetings.
I want to allow people to book in ANY time during that window, as long as they end by the end of the time slot I've selected, with start time options 15 or 30 minutes apart - not only start times that are at predetermined 90 minutes apart.
Tadej on the Akiflow team asked me to make this comment about my use case, but the reality is I don’t only take 90 minute meetings, and I don’t only want them 30 minutes apart - it really depends on the kind of meeting as some are more demanding than other. The point is that it can’t be adjusted, and that is honestly baffling to me.
One last note about this: this feature is available on an Akiflow direct competitor - Morgen (though they have their own baffling idiosyncrasies with regards to their meeting scheduler).
Add the "start time increments" setting option, so that all my meetings can start at the start of the hour.

Yeah this seems to me such an obvious feature for any availability tool (and doesn’t seem that technically difficult), and yet I’m surprised this has been added yet, 4 years after the original request.

Yeah. This is how Calendly works, for instance. Without this feature the share availability link is totally useless to me.

Anna suggests to have meeting intervals e.g. I have a 1-hour meeting and I want to offer either a slot from 16:30 ~ or from 17:00 ~ (at 30 min intervals).

Share availability: add start time increments
