Leads from Your Website Form or API

Point your website's download, demo or contact form at AB Sales and every submission becomes a lead — no sign-in, no backend. Covers the intake key, the HTML form snippet, the JSON API, what a repeat submission does, and what your visitor sees.

Where an Escalated Ticket Goes

When the AI can't answer, it routes the ticket to CS, Tech or Product with a one-line reason and a draft reply. What routing is, what it isn't, and why a routed ticket still needs someone to claim it.

Filtering Tasks and Saved Filters

How task filters work in AB Projects: every condition the filter panel offers, saving a filter set you reuse, sharing a filtered view as a link, and why filters stick between visits.

Task Dependencies: Blocked By and Blocks

How task dependencies work in AB Projects: add predecessors from the task that is waiting, read the automatic Blocks mirror, understand why an unmet predecessor warns rather than blocks, and how an AI assistant can set dependencies over MCP.

Plans, Pricing, and Your Lead Allowance

AB Sales is priced by how many new leads you add, not by how many people use it. Your first 100 leads are free, a plan adds 1,000 new leads a month, and the allowance is shared across every workspace in your organization.

Importing and Exporting Leads (CSV)

Bring leads into AB Sales from a CSV file or export your whole lead list — including labels, funnel stage, and AI research. Covers the template, duplicate detection, and which columns import.

Your Personal Settings

Your personal AB Support settings — profile, language, timezone, and the opt-in ticket digest email — how they differ from a desk's admin-only settings, and why the digest has its own Save button.

Working the Ticket Queue

How to scan, filter, and work the AB Support ticket queue: new tickets appearing on their own, the inbox row signals, compact rows, long queues, quick filters and sort, saved filters, keyboard triage, Next ticket after resolving, and bulk actions.

Web Forms: Turning "Contact Us" into Tickets

A Contact us web form becomes a ticket; the reply is emailed to the visitor. Use the hosted form or POST your own to the endpoint — and note the mailbox it needs to reply.

How a Support Ticket Works

How an AB Support ticket works: the AI answers first and holds the ticket until it hands off to a human; plus the Needs a reply / Waiting on customer / Finished status categories, the suggested reply (including drafts from AI assistants), internal notes, the activity timeline, resolve reasons and Next ticket, and undelivered replies.

AB Sales Troubleshooting

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

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 created — typed in, imported from CSV, or sent from your own website form or API.

Document Comments and Teams Notifications

Learn how to discuss project documents and how document creation and edits notify your linked Teams channel.

Creating and Editing Documents

Learn how to create, organize, edit, preview, and review versions of project documents in ActionBridge.

MCP Tools Reference

All 55 MCP tools ActionBridge gives AI assistants — ab_* for AB Projects (tasks, schedule, Documents, project statuses and types), ab_crm_* for AB Sales (leads, labels, opportunities, activities, email), and ab_support_* for AB Support (tickets, triage, draft replies) — plus the slash-command prompts, resource feeds, which tools need a license, and which writes post a Microsoft Teams card.

AI Support Features in AB Projects

Every AI capability in AB Projects today: dashboard greeting, task summary, suggested subtasks, task extraction from meeting recordings, the Teams bot's commands and conversational answers, the digest's Today's focus note, and MCP assistants — all clearly disclosed, none acting without you.

I Can't See My Tasks

Tasks not showing in AB Projects? It's almost always a remembered filter, the wrong project or view (Gantt needs dates), or Teams-channel membership that hasn't synced — and if you can see tasks but not create them, it's a license seat, not a bug.

Exporting and Accessing Project Data

AB Projects has no CSV/Excel export of task or project data yet. How your data is preserved (per-task change history, the Teams channel record) and how to get it out today: filtered views, AI assistants over MCP, and asking support.

Built-in Automation

AB Projects has no if-this-then-that rule builder — the routine work is automated out of the box: status-driven progress, subtask roll-up, automatic Teams cards (tunable per event type per project), channel-driven membership sync, digests and reminders, and AI assists.

Gantt Chart View and Timeline Tracking

How the AB Projects Gantt view works: tasks with start and due dates become status-colored bars with progress fill and dependency arrows; today and weekends are highlighted, and the chart opens where your open work is. Bars aren't draggable by design — every date change carries a reason into the task's change history and the Teams channel, which a drag can't record.

Daily Digest and AI Assistance

The AB Projects daily digest is sent to you, not written by you: up to 10 open tasks by due date, on the weekdays and time you set, by email and/or Teams — plus per-task deadline reminders and the AI assists you use during the day.

Notifications and Reminders

The three notification types in AB Projects: real-time Adaptive Card activity in the linked Teams channel (with per-project category toggles), a scheduled top-10 task digest by email or Teams chat, and one-shot per-task deadline reminders set with the task's bell.

Adaptive Cards and Task Previews

What the Adaptive Cards AB Projects posts to your Teams channel actually show — priority, dates, a change diff, progress, badges, counts, and the Open button — when they're posted, and why replying under a card writes straight to the task.

Using Tabs for Task Management

Manage tasks from the AB Projects channel tab in Microsoft Teams: List, Gantt, and Kanban views, creating tasks, the slide-in detail panel, comments with mentions, remembered filters, and how every change is logged with a reason and posted to the channel.

Managing Project Settings

A tour of the AB Projects project settings page: identity, members, Teams channel notification toggles, GitHub integration, task workflow options, the Teams link, ownership transfer, leaving, and the unlink-before-delete rule.

Subtasks and Task Hierarchy

Break large tasks into manageable subtasks in AB Projects. Create new subtasks, attach existing tasks, use AI suggestions, review progress from the parent task, and see when to use a dependency instead.
