Sherlock Calls
for Google Custom Search + Twilio
Google Custom Search surfaces public web intelligence on any topic or competitor. Twilio routes every call through its programmable voice infrastructure. 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 Custom Search, Twilio simultaneously — read-only, no code changes, no webhooks — and lets you query both with a single Slack message.
- 2
Ask questions that neither Google Custom Search nor Twilio can answer alone. Google Custom Search shows external context — not how it connects to your internal call and deal data. Twilio shows you calls failed — not why your agents or product caused them. 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 Custom Search + Twilio without Sherlock
Each platform shows you its own data. But the questions that matter most live in the gaps between them.
Google Custom Search and Twilio each hold half the picture
Google Custom Search shows external context — not how it connects to your internal call and deal data. Twilio shows you calls failed — not why your agents or product caused them. 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
Google Custom Search tracks its own analyst research time. Twilio tracks its own per-minute telephony charges. 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 Google Custom Search and Twilio, 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 + Google Custom Search + Twilio
How does Sherlock Calls connect Google Custom Search and Twilio data?
- Sherlock uses read-only API access to both platforms simultaneously. When you ask a question, it queries Google Custom Search, Twilio 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 Custom Search and Twilio?
- 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 Custom Search + Twilio stack?
- You can investigate anything that spans both platforms — search result coverage and competitor presence, call failure rate and route quality, 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 Custom Search and Twilio 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 Custom Search and Twilio and is accessed only during an active investigation.
How long does it take to set up the Google Custom Search + Twilio 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.
