Sherlock Calls
for Google Trends + Tink
Google Trends measures real-time search demand and topic popularity by region. 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 Google Trends, Tink simultaneously — read-only, no code changes, no webhooks — and lets you query both with a single Slack message.
- 2
Ask questions that neither Google Trends nor Tink can answer alone. Google Trends shows demand signals — not whether your pipeline and call volume are capturing them. 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 Google Trends + Tink without Sherlock
Each platform shows you its own data. But the questions that matter most live in the gaps between them.
Google Trends traffic segments and Tink financial segments are never correlated
Google Trends segments visitors by source, behaviour, and conversion intent. Tink segments customers by financial health and capacity. But which Google Trends audience segments correlate with the most valuable Tink financial profiles is data that lives across both.
High-intent Google Trends traffic from Tink high-value segments goes un-targeted
Tink identifies customers with strong financial health. Google Trends shows which search terms and referral sources they use. Combining both would let you target those high-value segments precisely — but neither platform connects the dots.
Google Trends content strategy ignores Tink financial demand signals
Tink shows which financial circumstances drive product interest. Google Trends shows which content topics drive organic traffic. The intersection — content that addresses the financial situations of your best customers — requires correlating both.

FAQ
Common questions about Sherlock + Google Trends + Tink
How does Sherlock Calls connect Google Trends and Tink data?
- Sherlock uses read-only API access to both platforms simultaneously. When you ask a question, it queries Google Trends, 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 Google Trends 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 Google Trends + Tink stack?
- You can investigate anything that spans both platforms — trend acceleration by topic and geography, 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 Google Trends 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 Google Trends and Tink and is accessed only during an active investigation.
How long does it take to set up the Google Trends + 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.
