# Get the next new photo from an album — Google Photos

Botize method — `gphotos.get_next_album_image` (trigger).

Always extract the 100 most recent photos from the selected album.
On each run it returns the next most recent photo, based on the image's creation date.

Requires you to set the album in Google Photos to display them in order of most recent to least recent.
Running the task for the first time will start from the most recent photo in the album.

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.

- `album_id` *(string)* — Album
- `when_reaching_last_photo` *(string, one of: "wait" = Wait for new photos; "restart" = Restart from the first photo)* — When reaching the last photo

*(Fields derived from the configuration form.)*

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{photo_id}}` *(text)* — Photo Id
- `{{base_url}}` *(url)* — Photo URL
- `{{mime_type}}` *(text)* — Mime Type
- `{{creation_time}}` *(date)* — Creation time
- `{{filename}}` *(text)* — Filename
