# Get the next old post in a public channel — Telegram Public Channels

Botize method — `public_channels.get_public_channel_post_in_date_range` (trigger).

It is triggered each time a post is identified in a public channel that meets a specific age range, measured in days since its publication date. The search starts with the most recent posts and moves towards the older ones, considering an interval defined by a minimum and maximum number of days.

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.

- `channel_link` *(string)* — Public Channel link
- `min_days` *(string)* — Minimum number of days elapsed since publication
- `max_days` *(string)* — Maximum number of days elapsed since publication

It also accepts repeatable field groups, with these prefixes: `filter_*`. These are composite components (buttons, filters, keyboards); the trailing number is set by the user as they are added.
