Sherlock Calls
for Gmail + Tink
Gmail stores the complete email history of every customer relationship. Tink aggregates bank account and transaction data via open banking. 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 Gmail, Tink simultaneously — read-only, no code changes, no webhooks — and lets you query both with a single Slack message.
- 2
Ask questions that neither Gmail nor Tink can answer alone. Gmail holds the richest context — but no one correlates it with call records in real time. Tink shows financial data — not how it correlates with customer conversations and outcomes. 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 Gmail + Tink without Sherlock
Each platform shows you its own data. But the questions that matter most live in the gaps between them.
Financial stress signals in Tink have no corresponding Gmail context
Tink holds financial health data: payment anomalies, balance trends, transaction patterns. Gmail holds the customer communication history. When a customer's Tink signals deteriorate, nobody checks whether there's a relevant Gmail thread to act on.
Gmail team interactions with financially stressed customers are uncoordinated
Your team may be scheduling Gmail meetings with customers who are showing Tink financial distress signals. Without connecting both, the meeting proceeds without the most important context — and the conversation misses the real issue.
Tink financial opportunities are visible but Gmail engagement is absent
Tink surfaces customers with strong financial health signals — growing balances, consistent payments, transaction volume growth. Those customers represent Gmail expansion opportunities. But without the connection, no one is acting on them.

FAQ
Common questions about Sherlock + Gmail + Tink
How does Sherlock Calls connect Gmail and Tink data?
- Sherlock uses read-only API access to both platforms simultaneously. When you ask a question, it queries Gmail, Tink 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 Gmail and Tink?
- 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 Gmail + Tink stack?
- You can investigate anything that spans both platforms — customer email frequency and recency, financial health signals and cash flow patterns, 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 Gmail and Tink 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 Gmail and Tink and is accessed only during an active investigation.
How long does it take to set up the Gmail + Tink 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.
