Sherlock Calls
for Aircall + Gmail
Aircall logs your sales team's calls, tags, and recordings in real time. Gmail stores the complete email history of every customer relationship. When you need to investigate across both, the evidence is split between two dashboards neither of which knows the other exists. Sherlock Calls bridges them — no code, no exports, no manual joins. Ask once from Slack and get a sourced answer in under 5 seconds.
TL;DR — What beta users get access to
- 1
Sherlock Calls connects to Aircall, Gmail simultaneously — read-only, no code changes, no webhooks — and lets you query both with a single Slack message.
- 2
Ask questions that neither Aircall nor Gmail can answer alone. Aircall shows call counts — not which calls are actually moving deals forward. Gmail holds the richest context — but no one correlates it with call records in real time. Sherlock deduces the complete picture from both.
- 3
No dashboard switching, no manual joins, no fog of uncertainty — ask in Slack and receive a sourced answer with evidence from every connected provider in under 5 seconds. The game is afoot.

The Investigation Gap
What's invisible when you use Aircall + Gmail without Sherlock
Each platform shows you its own data. But the questions that matter most live in the gaps between them.
Aircall and Gmail each hold half the picture
Aircall shows call counts — not which calls are actually moving deals forward. Gmail holds the richest context — but no one correlates it with call records in real time. Without correlating both, your team sees two incomplete views of the same underlying reality — and every investigation stops at the boundary between systems.
Cross-platform cost and performance remain invisible
Aircall tracks its own telephony cost per rep. Gmail tracks its own communication time. Your true cost per outcome — and the performance of each component in your combined stack — requires data from both, but neither platform shows you that unified picture.
Critical events disappear at the boundary between systems
When a session, contact, or signal moves between Aircall and Gmail, the transition is recorded with different identifiers in each system. Tracing what happens across the full journey requires a manual join that takes hours you don't have.

FAQ
Common questions about Sherlock + Aircall + Gmail
How does Sherlock Calls connect Aircall and Gmail data?
- Sherlock uses read-only API access to both platforms simultaneously. When you ask a question, it queries Aircall, Gmail in parallel, correlates the results by timestamp and shared identifiers, and produces a single sourced answer — the same way a good detective correlates evidence from multiple witnesses.
Do I need to set up any data pipelines between Aircall and Gmail?
- No. Sherlock Calls is entirely pull-based — it queries both APIs on demand when you ask a question. There are no webhooks, no ETL pipelines, no data warehouses, and no code changes required in any of the connected platforms.
What kinds of questions can I ask about my Aircall + Gmail stack?
- You can investigate anything that spans both platforms — rep call activity and talk-time per deal, customer email frequency and recency, cross-platform costs, handoff patterns, and performance comparisons. Sherlock translates your plain-English question into the right API calls and returns the deduced answer.
Is my Aircall and Gmail data stored by Sherlock?
- No. Sherlock Calls queries your data in real time and returns results directly to Slack — nothing is stored, indexed, or replicated in any Sherlock database. All data remains in Aircall and Gmail and is accessed only during an active investigation.
How long does it take to set up the Aircall + Gmail integration?
- Elementary — typically under 5 minutes total. Connect each platform with read-only credentials, install the Sherlock Calls Slack app, and ask your first question. No engineering, no dashboards, no onboarding calls required.
