Forepost’s Team view auto-flags an agent when their CSAT trajectory is sustained-falling. Coaching is the panel that opens from that flag — so the leader can go from “Sarah is flagged” to “here’s what I want her to know” without leaving the app.

Opening the drawer

From the Team view, click Coach on any agent (flagged or not). A side drawer slides in with three sections:

Recent samples

Up to 20 worst-CSAT conversation summaries with deep-links to the helpdesk.

Note composer

Free text. Optional follow-up date. Optional “share with agent” toggle.

Notes history

Previous notes for this agent, recent first.
Notes are leader-private by default. Toggling Share with agent marks the note for agent visibility on a future agent-facing surface.

How samples get captured

Two sources today:
1

Auto-capture on auto-flag

When an agent gets auto-flagged for sustained-falling CSAT, Forepost stores the worst conversation summaries from the prior review window as samples. Only the model-written summary (one to three sentences) is stored — never the conversation body.
2

Manual pin

POST /coaching/samples (coming soon) for pinning a specific conversation by id when you spot something worth coaching on.
Samples carry the source helpdesk, the conversation’s external id, the precomputed deep-link URL (using your deep-link templates), the CSAT score, and the closed timestamp.

Notes

A note is one record:
The follow-up date can later be wired into a Google Calendar event from your linked calendar; for now it’s a reminder timestamp surfaced on the drawer.

API

Member scope

Workspace members can read coaching only for their own linked agent record. Owners and admins see and write everything.

What coaching isn’t

  • Not a QA queue. No round-robin assignment, no calibration workflows. Coaching is point-of-need note-taking.
  • Not training content. No saved playbooks or canned feedback. The whole surface is one note at a time.
  • Not visible to the agent by default. Even with the future agent-facing view, only notes you explicitly mark Share are surfaced.

Privacy

Sample summaries are model-written from the helpdesk content at capture time — the conversation body never lands in Forepost’s database. The summary, the external id, and the URL are stored in your workspace’s D1 scope.
