# Get next new post in a chat between 2 dates — Telegram User

Botize method — `telegram_users.bps_next_message_in_range` (trigger).

Extract posts from any Telegram chat one by one for a range of dates, which can be groups or channels, public or private, chats of a specific user or of a bot.

- Requires you to have access to the chat from your Telegram account
- No Telegram bot required

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.

- `chat_url` *(string)* — Chat Id
- `range_from` *(string)* — From date
- `range_to` *(string)* — To date
- `max_file_mb` *(string, one of: "20" = 20 MB; "50" = 50 MB; "100" = 100 MB; "250" = 250 MB; "500" = 500 MB; "1024" = 1 GB; "2048" = 2 GB; "0" = Exclude all files (no images, video or files will be downloaded))* — Exclude files bigger than this size

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.
