# Extract the next new check-in from a friend in an area — Foursquare

Botize method — `foursquare.checkins_friend_area` (trigger).

Triggers with a friend's next new Foursquare check-in within an area.

This is a trigger: it starts the task. A task has exactly one.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

*(Fields derived from the configuration form.)*
