Who Can See Your Tickets and Customers

Who has access to an AB Support desk's tickets and customers — desk membership, and why one desk (or another AB product) can never see another's data.

Installing AB Support in Teams

How to add AB Support to a Microsoft Teams channel and turn it into a working support desk. Your agents work in Teams; your customers never touch it.

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.

Your Customer Store

Everyone who contacts your AB Support desk becomes a customer record, recognized by email so returning people bring their history. It's AB Support's own store, separate from the AB Sales CRM.

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.

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.

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.

Support Desks: Your Workspace per Channel

A desk is your AB Support workspace for one Teams channel — its own tickets, customers and settings, independent of AB Projects and AB Sales. Here's how one is created.

How a Support Ticket Works

How an AB Support ticket works: the AI answers first from your knowledge base, then hands off to a human when needed, with the full conversation and a suggested reply.

How Customers Reach You: Web Chat, Email & Forms

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.

Who Can See What? (AB Sales)

Visibility in AB Sales is workspace-based: every workspace member sees that workspace's whole pipeline, each workspace's data is isolated, and roles (Owner/Admin/Member) control management, not visibility.

The Channel Tab and Notifications

The AB Sales channel tab gives your whole team one shared pipeline, and posts notifications to the channel when leads and customers are created. What everyone sees, and why it's the same for all members.

Sales Workspaces: Channel-Linked vs Standalone

A workspace is one self-contained CRM. AB Sales has two kinds — channel-linked (shared with a Teams channel) and standalone (yours in the personal app). How to create and switch between them.

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.

Opportunities

An Opportunity is a specific deal in AB Sales — an amount, a close date, and a stage. Attached to a customer or a lead; win and convert it to turn a lead into a customer.

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.

Customers

A Customer is an established account in AB Sales — usually converted from a won lead. Customers carry multiple Contacts and Opportunities and can be archived without losing history.

AB Sales: Overview

AB Sales is an AI-assisted CRM inside Microsoft Teams — capture leads, research them with AI, move them through a simple funnel, and convert the winners into customers, all where your team already works.

MCP Tools Reference

Reference for the ActionBridge MCP tools that let AI assistants work with both AB Projects (tasks, documents) and AB Sales (leads, contacts, opportunities, customers) — every change recorded and posted to the linked Teams channel.

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).

What is ActionBridge?

ActionBridge (AB) is a family of AI-assisted apps inside Microsoft Teams — AB Projects for task and project management, AB Sales for CRM, and AB Support for AI customer service — sharing one Microsoft account, sign-in, and billing.
