Import Forex Factory Calendar To Google Calendar

Purpose of this n8n Template

  1. Import Forex Factory Calendar events into Google Calendar.
  2. Delete past Forex Factory Calendar events from Google Calendar.

Use Cases:

  • Get reminders for important economic data releases — especially High Impact news.
  • Use as a trigger for opening trading positions.

How It Works (Adding Next Week’s Events to Google Calendar)

  • Every Sunday, the workflow fetches the next week’s events (.ics file) using the HTTP node.
  • The file is parsed with the Extract From File node.
  • Events are split using the Split Out node so each event is processed separately.
  • Events are classified into three categories — High, Medium, and Low Impact — using the Switch node.
  • High Impact news is added to Google Calendar with a popup reminder set 30 minutes before release.
  • Medium Impact news is added to Google Calendar without a reminder.
  • Low Impact news is ignored.

How It Works (Deleting Past Events from Google Calendar)

  • The workflow retrieves events from the past 10 days using the Google Calendar node.
  • If an event is related to Forex Factory, it will be deleted.
  • If it is not related, it will be left untouched.

How to Use

  • Enter your credentials for all Google Calendar nodes.

Requirements

  • A valid Google Calendar credential.
