Sherlock Calls
for Bland AI + Google Ads
Bland AI runs AI-powered outbound calling campaigns at scale. Google Ads runs your paid search and display campaigns across Google's network. 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 Bland AI, Google Ads simultaneously — read-only, no code changes, no webhooks — and lets you query both with a single Slack message.
- 2
Ask questions that neither Bland AI nor Google Ads can answer alone. Bland AI shows campaign outcomes — not the carrier-level errors silently killing them. Google Ads shows ad conversions — not which campaigns actually drove calls and won deals. Sherlock deduces the complete picture from both.

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 Bland AI + Google Ads without Sherlock
Each platform shows you its own data. But the questions that matter most live in the gaps between them.
Bland AI and Google Ads each hold half the picture
Bland AI shows campaign outcomes — not the carrier-level errors silently killing them. Google Ads shows ad conversions — not which campaigns actually drove calls and won deals. 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
Bland AI tracks its own per-minute agent cost. Google Ads tracks its own ad spend. 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 Bland AI and Google Ads, 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 + Bland AI + Google Ads
How does Sherlock Calls connect Bland AI and Google Ads data?
- Sherlock uses read-only API access to both platforms simultaneously. When you ask a question, it queries Bland AI, Google Ads 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 Bland AI and Google Ads?
- 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 Bland AI + Google Ads stack?
- You can investigate anything that spans both platforms — live-answer rate and conversion per campaign, ROAS, cost per conversion, and impression share, 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 Bland AI and Google Ads 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 Bland AI and Google Ads and is accessed only during an active investigation.
How long does it take to set up the Bland AI + Google Ads 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.
