# Get the next new inactive products — WooCommerce

Botize method — `woocommerce.get_next_inactive_product` (trigger).

Starting with the oldest product, return one by one each product that has been without updates for more than a specified number of hours.

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.

- `hours_of_inactivity` *(string)* — Minimum number of hours elapsed since the last product modification
- `search` *(string)* — Only products matching the following text
- `status` *(string, one of: "any"; "draft"; "pending"; "private"; "publish")* — Only products that meet the following status
- `type` *(string, one of: ""; "simple"; "grouped"; "external"; "variable")* — Only products that meet the following type

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.
