Sherlock Calls
for Amazon Connect + Gmail
Amazon Connect routes customer contacts through AWS cloud infrastructure. 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 Amazon Connect, Gmail simultaneously — read-only, no code changes, no webhooks — and lets you query both with a single Slack message.
- 2
Ask questions that neither Amazon Connect nor Gmail can answer alone. Amazon Connect shows interaction volume — not its downstream business impact. 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 Amazon Connect + Gmail without Sherlock
Each platform shows you its own data. But the questions that matter most live in the gaps between them.
Amazon Connect agents handle high-value contacts without Gmail context
The Gmail data — emails, meeting notes, shared documents — that would transform a Amazon Connect interaction into a proactive, informed conversation is invisible to your agents. They answer the question asked; they miss the question behind it.
Post-call commitments disappear between Amazon Connect and Gmail
Important Amazon Connect interactions produce commitments that should live in Gmail. Without a bridge, the trail goes cold — and the next interaction starts without the context the last one created.
High-value contact occasions go unrecognised without Gmail signals
Your Gmail data — calendar events, recent emails, active document collaborations — signals when an account is in a critical moment. But Amazon Connect agents don't see those signals. Every contact is treated the same.

FAQ
Common questions about Sherlock + Amazon Connect + Gmail
How does Sherlock Calls connect Amazon Connect and Gmail data?
- Sherlock uses read-only API access to both platforms simultaneously. When you ask a question, it queries Amazon Connect, 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 Amazon Connect 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 Amazon Connect + Gmail stack?
- You can investigate anything that spans both platforms — queue wait time and agent handle time, 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 Amazon Connect 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 Amazon Connect and Gmail and is accessed only during an active investigation.
How long does it take to set up the Amazon Connect + 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.
