AB Support Troubleshooting

Fixes for the most common AB Support snags — no inquiry cards in the channel, email not syncing, the AI answering wrong, and the web-chat widget not appearing.

Rating the AI's Answers

Customers can rate the AI's answers with a thumbs up or down; the score rolls up to a helpfulness percentage on your dashboard so you can track and improve answer quality.

Assigning Tickets to Your Team

How to assign a support ticket to a teammate so a real team can divide the work, plus how assignment differs from AI-vs-human handling.

The AB Support Dashboard

The AB Support tab opens on a dashboard that shows your desk's health at a glance; the ticket list is the second view. What each metric means and how to switch views.

Turning Support Email into Tickets

Connect your support mailbox so email becomes tickets and replies go back by email. Needs a one-time Microsoft 365 admin consent — here's the setup.

The Web Chat Widget

The AB Support web chat widget — a chat bubble you embed with one script tag. How to add it, its options, and what visitors see.

AB Support Settings

Settings is where you set up a desk — turn on web chat, email and forms, and point the AI at your knowledge. Admin-only, per desk.

Knowledge Sources: How the AI Answers

The AI answers from the knowledge sources you point it at — an AB wiki and a help channel — and cites them. Configure your sources so it can answer more and escalate less.

The three ways customers reach your AB Support desk — web chat, support email, and web forms — and how each becomes a ticket your team handles in Teams.

AB Support: Overview

AB Support is AI customer service inside Microsoft Teams — customers reach you by web chat, email and forms; the AI answers from your knowledge base and hands the rest to your team.

AB Sales Troubleshooting

Answers to the most common AB Sales questions — an empty Contacts tab, missing workspaces, email that won't send, sample data, and sign-in issues.

Labels: Tagging and Segmenting Leads

Labels are colored tags you attach to leads to segment your pipeline by temperature, size, or industry. Every workspace ships with a default set, the AI can auto-apply them, and you can filter and group by label.

My Pipeline and the Workspace Dashboard

AB Sales has two overview screens — My Pipeline (your personal cross-workspace cockpit in the Home tab) and the per-workspace Dashboard. What each shows.

Research with AI

Research with AI enriches a lead — finds its website, reads the homepage, and fills in a company summary, contact email, and suggested labels. It does not move the lead through the funnel.

How the AB Sales Funnel Works

How a lead moves through the AB Sales funnel — Lead → Contact → Opportunity → Customer — what advances each stage, and why AI research enriches a lead without moving it.

Agents: CRM Automation

The Agent is the automation engine that finds missing websites, extracts contact emails from company pages, and sends a first-touch template email — on a 5-minute timer, with strict verification and daily caps. This article covers each stage, how to pause, and how to opt out a single lead.

Contacts

A Contact is a person attached to a Lead or Customer in AB Sales. Adding a contact to a lead advances it to the Contact stage. One parent can carry many contacts — the buyer, the technical reviewer, the decision-maker.

Leads: Capturing and Qualifying Prospects

A Lead is a prospect you haven't yet established a relationship with. This article covers the status pipeline (New, Information filled, Contacted, Qualified, Disqualified), how the AI Get URL button works, and how leads get filled in manually or by the Agent.

Data Retention and Export

How AB Projects retains data on Microsoft Azure: deletes are soft-deletes (no auto-purge, no self-serve restore window), change history and comments are preserved, and there is no built-in export yet — data export and recovery are handled as manual support requests.

Managing Subscriptions, Billing & Licenses

How AB Projects pricing and licensing work: a free tier (first 10 active users per tenant) and a Basic plan ($3 per active user / month) purchased on Microsoft AppSource — including the activation page, assigning seats in Settings → Manage licenses, subscription status and history, free trials, and exactly what happens when you cancel or reduce seats.

Exporting and Accessing Project Data

AB Projects does not yet provide CSV/report export of task or project data. This article explains how data is preserved (per-task change history, the Teams channel record) and the ways to access it today (filtered views, MCP/AI queries, the scheduled digest).

Built-in Automation

AB Projects automates the routine work out of the box — status-driven progress, subtask roll-up, automatic Teams updates, channel-driven membership sync, and the scheduled digest. There is no custom if-this-then-that rule builder; this article explains what runs automatically.
