Help & Support
Find guides, tips, and answers to get the most out of AB. Browse by topic or search for what you need.
Customer Satisfaction Surveys
After a ticket is resolved, AB Support can ask the customer how the support went — a 1–5 score and an optional comment, by email and in the chat widget. How to send one by hand or automatically, what customers see, and how to read CSAT on the dashboard.
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.
The AB Support Bot
The AB Support bot is for your team, not your customers — ask it a question and it answers from your desk's knowledge base with sources, check open tickets, see what is assigned to you, and pick the channel escalations land in.
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.
Campaigns: Multi-Step Email Sequences
A campaign is an ordered sequence of emails the Agent sends a lead over time, stopping the moment they reply. Covers entry filters, steps and wait days, priority, what ends a sequence, and why nothing sends until a campaign exists.
The AB Sales Bot: Chat Commands
Ask the AB Sales bot for your leads, pipeline, or customers — or create a lead — right from a Teams chat. All commands work in English and Japanese.
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.
AB Support Troubleshooting
Fixes for the most common AB Support snags — replies stopping altogether, no inquiry cards, email not syncing, the AI answering wrong, the web-chat widget not appearing, WhatsApp and SMS not arriving, and signing in on the web.
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.
The Web Chat Widget
The AB Support web chat widget — a chat bubble you embed with one script tag. How to add it, preview it, its options, the 11 languages it speaks, how to brand it with your own color and launcher icon, and what visitors see.
Knowledge Sources: How the AI Answers
The AI answers customers directly from the knowledge sources you point it at — this desk's own knowledge base, another workspace's wiki, or your own public help center — and cites them. It finds articles by meaning, so customers can ask in any language and still be answered from what you wrote.
AB Support Settings
Two things are called settings in AB Support: your personal settings (language, timezone, ticket digest) and a desk's admin-only settings (its name and icon, members, channels, statuses, knowledge sources, and its desk ID), reached from the gear inside the desk.
AB Support: Overview
AB Support is AI-assisted customer service your team works from Microsoft Teams, Outlook or a web browser — customers reach you by web chat, email, forms, WhatsApp and SMS; tickets land in one queue. The hub for every AB Support help page.
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.
Language and Locale Settings
AB Projects is available in 11 languages, all directly selectable from the Language dropdown in Settings. How to change your language, what the setting changes, and why dates stay in ISO format.
Editing Your Profile and Icon
How to change your AB Projects display name, profile photo, language, and timezone in the Settings tab. Your profile starts as a copy of your Microsoft 365 identity, then is edited independently inside AB Projects.
