Sherlock Calls
for Google Ads + Granola
Google Ads runs your paid search and display campaigns across Google's network. Granola captures every meeting as structured, searchable AI notes on macOS. 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 Google Ads, Granola simultaneously — read-only, no code changes, no webhooks — and lets you query both with a single Slack message.
- 2
Ask questions that neither Google Ads nor Granola can answer alone. Google Ads shows ad conversions — not which campaigns actually drove calls and won deals. Granola holds what was decided in every meeting — but those decisions are invisible during investigations. 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 Google Ads + Granola without Sherlock
Each platform shows you its own data. But the questions that matter most live in the gaps between them.
Google Ads campaign insights never make it into Granola content strategy
Google Ads surfaces which messages and keywords resonate with your audience. Granola holds the content your team is producing. But the feedback loop from ad performance to Granola content decisions is manual and inconsistent.
Granola team knowledge is untapped by Google Ads campaign strategy
Your team's Granola meeting notes and email threads contain product insights, customer feedback, and positioning discoveries. That intelligence should inform Google Ads copy and targeting — but the connection is never made explicitly.
Google Ads competitor intelligence doesn't reach the Granola documents it should update
Google Ads exposes what competitors are bidding on and how they're positioning. That intelligence should update your Granola pitch decks and playbooks. Without a bridge, it stays in Google Ads's dashboard.

FAQ
Common questions about Sherlock + Google Ads + Granola
How does Sherlock Calls connect Google Ads and Granola data?
- Sherlock uses read-only API access to both platforms simultaneously. When you ask a question, it queries Google Ads, Granola 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 Google Ads and Granola?
- 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 Google Ads + Granola stack?
- You can investigate anything that spans both platforms — ROAS, cost per conversion, and impression share, decision quality and commitment frequency, 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 Google Ads and Granola 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 Google Ads and Granola and is accessed only during an active investigation.
How long does it take to set up the Google Ads + Granola 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.
