Automate Salah Blocking with Prayer Calendar Workflow

Stop missing prayers due to unexpected client meetings. This n8n workflow automatically blocks prayer times in your Google Calendar daily, ensuring your Salah schedule is protected from scheduling conflicts.

What this workflow does

Send a simple /salah command to your Telegram bot and watch the magic happen. The workflow instantly fetches today's prayer times from IslamicAPI using the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method for Cairo, then automatically calculates realistic time windows for each of the five daily prayers. It creates blocking events directly in your Google Calendar for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha, logs all details to a Google Sheet for tracking, and sends you a Telegram confirmation with exact time windows.

Since prayer times shift daily throughout the year, this automation accounts for those changes automatically—no manual updates required.

Use cases

• Business owners who need to protect prayer times from client bookings
• Remote workers managing calendars across different time zones
• Consultants and freelancers who want automated schedule protection
• Team leads ensuring meeting-free prayer windows
• Anyone who frequently reschedules due to prayer time conflicts
