AB Support — Reviewer & Publisher Reference
Reference for Microsoft store reviewers: what AB Support does, an end-to-end test path, and why each requested permission is needed.
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.
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.
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.
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
Two things are called settings in AB Support: your personal settings (language, timezone, ticket digest) and a desk's admin-only settings (channels, statuses, knowledge, members and roles), reached from inside the desk.
How a Support Ticket Works
How an AB Support ticket works: the AI answers first, then hands off to a human; plus the Open/Pending/Closed status categories, internal notes, the activity timeline, resolve/reopen reasons, and undelivered replies.
How Customers Reach You
The ways customers reach your AB Support desk — web chat, support email, web forms, plus WhatsApp and SMS — and how each becomes a ticket your team handles in Teams.
AB Support: Overview
AB Support is AI-assisted customer service inside Microsoft Teams — customers reach you by web chat, email, forms, WhatsApp and SMS; tickets land in one queue your team works. The hub for every AB Support help page.
Sending Email from AB Sales
How AB Sales sends email — in plain terms. It sends from your own company mailbox through Microsoft 365, set up once by your admin. Covers the sending identity, choosing a mailbox, templates, and deliverability.
CRM Settings
Everything in the CRM Settings page — automation on/off, the sending mailbox and daily email cap, the Teams notification channel, email templates, and labels. Owner/Admin only.
Teams Channel and Project Linking in AB Projects
How AB Projects links each Microsoft Teams channel one-to-one with a project: the link is made when the tab is added, membership syncs from the channel roster automatically, and comments flow between task and channel thread.
Why AB Projects Requires Microsoft Graph Permissions
Every Microsoft Graph permission AB Projects requests, mapped to the feature it powers: Teams channel linking and roster sync, task cards and comment sync in channels, Outlook calendar scheduling, and Microsoft SSO. Most access is delegated (limited to what you can already do); the Entra ID consent screen is the authoritative list.
Language and Locale Settings
AB Projects is available in 11 languages, detected automatically from your Microsoft Teams language when your profile is created. What the language setting changes, how to override it in Settings, and why dates stay in ISO format.
Integration with Microsoft Teams and Adaptive Cards
How AB Projects and Microsoft Teams fit together as one system: the one-to-one channel–project link, the tab, Adaptive Card posts with two-way thread sync, the chip-picker mention model, and Microsoft SSO with channel-driven membership.
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.
Commenting with Mentions in Channels
How task comments sync with the Microsoft Teams thread — comments always post to the channel; thread replies sync back to the task only when the reply @mentions AB Projects — and how the Mention in Teams notification picker controls who gets pinged.
Understanding Projects and Teams
What a project is in AB Projects: a shared workspace of tasks, wiki, and documents tied one-to-one to a Microsoft Teams channel, with membership synced from the channel and four roles — Owner, Admin, Member, and Viewer.
