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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Why AB Projects Requires Microsoft Graph Permissions
The Microsoft Graph API permissions AB Projects uses and why — covering Teams channel linking and roster sync, posting task activity and syncing thread replies, Outlook calendar scheduling, and Microsoft SSO. The Entra app registration / consent screen is the authoritative list.
Images or Files Won't Upload
Image won't upload in AB Projects? Images are embedded via the editor (comments, descriptions) and icon pickers, stored in AB Projects storage — not OneDrive/SharePoint. Check format, size, your signed-in session, and network.
Microsoft Teams App Doesn't Load
AB Projects tab not loading in Microsoft Teams? Work through reloading, updating/restarting the Teams client, Microsoft SSO and admin consent, clearing Teams cache, unblocking blz.actionbridge.io on the network, and checking app install/consent.
I Can't See My Tasks
Tasks not showing in AB Projects? Work through project selection, the filter panel (completed/omitted hidden by default and remembered), the List/Gantt/Kanban views (Gantt needs dates), Teams-channel membership sync, and reloading.
SSO and Microsoft Login
AB Projects uses Microsoft SSO (Microsoft Entra ID) for password-free sign-in with your Microsoft 365 account. No separate password and no per-user license to assign; project access follows your Teams-channel membership.
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.
Notification Preferences
What you can configure for AB Projects notifications: your personal task digest's delivery method (email/Teams) and schedule, in Settings → Task Reminders. Real-time Teams channel activity is automatic; per-event toggles, task following, per-task due reminders, and an in-app inbox don't exist yet.
Language and Locale Settings
AB Projects is localized into English, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), with Arabic and Russian on the Teams listing/bot. Set your language in the Settings tab; English is the fallback.
Editing Your Profile and Icon
Edit your AB Projects profile from the Settings tab: display name, profile icon, language, timezone, and email signature. Your name and icon are seeded from Microsoft 365 and appear in tasks, comments, mentions, and Teams Adaptive Cards.
Gantt Chart View and Timeline Tracking
Learn how the AB Projects Gantt view works: tasks with start/due dates shown as status-colored bars with progress, today and weekends highlighted, overdue styling, click to open the detail panel to change dates (logged with a reason), and filtering via the shared filter panel.
Using Tabs for Task Management
Learn how to manage tasks inside Microsoft Teams with the AB Projects channel tab: List, Gantt, and Kanban views, creating tasks, the slide-in detail panel, comments and mentions, filtering, and how changes are logged and posted to the channel.
Inviting Team Members via Microsoft Teams
AB Projects onboards your whole team through Microsoft Teams automatically: once the AB Projects tab is connected to a channel, every channel member is added to the project and kept in sync — no one-by-one email invites. Admins can also manually invite specific channel members.
Navigating the Interface
How to get around any ActionBridge app in Microsoft Teams — a personal app with a Home tab plus product tabs, channel tabs for shared team work, and the same data on the web.
