The AB Support Bot
The AB Support bot is for your team, not your customers — check open tickets, see what is assigned to you, and pick the channel escalations land in. Every command, where to use it, and which desk it answers about.
Your Monthly Allowance: Transactions and AI Credits
AB Support meters two things each month — customer transactions and AI credits. What each one counts, what happens when either runs out, and how Usage Packs add capacity.
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.
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.
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.
Who Can See Your Tickets and Customers
Who has access to an AB Support desk's tickets and customers — desk membership is the rule, how you join depends on whether the desk is channel-linked or standalone, and one desk (or another AB product) can never see another's data.
Installing AB Support
How to install AB Support from the Microsoft Teams store and create your first support desk — from the Home tab in seconds, or as a channel tab — then work that same desk in Teams, Outlook or a browser. Your customers never install anything.
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, matched by email or phone number depending on the channel, so returning people bring their history. It's AB Support's own store, separate from the AB Sales CRM.
Assigning Tickets to Your Team
How to assign a support ticket to a teammate so a real team can divide the work, plus how assignment differs from AI-vs-human handling.
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, how to brand it with your own 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 public help content — and cites them. What you put in those sources is what your customers get told.
Support Desks: Your AB Support Workspace
A desk is your AB Support workspace — its own tickets, customers and settings, independent of AB Projects and AB Sales. The two ways to create one, how to choose, and how to open it from Teams, Outlook or the web.
How a Support Ticket Works
How an AB Support ticket works: the AI answers first, then hands off to a human; plus the Needs us / Waiting on customer / Finished status categories, internal notes, the activity timeline, resolve reasons, and undelivered replies.
How Customers Reach You
The five ways customers reach your AB Support desk — web chat, support email, web forms, WhatsApp and SMS — how each becomes a ticket, and what setting each one up actually takes, including US number registration.
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.
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.
Labels: Tagging and Segmenting Leads
Labels are colored tags you attach to leads to segment your pipeline by temperature, size, or industry. Every workspace ships with a default set, the AI can auto-apply them, and you can filter and group by label.
My Pipeline and the Workspace Dashboard
AB Sales has two overview screens — My Pipeline (your personal cross-workspace cockpit in the Home tab) and the per-workspace Dashboard. What each shows.
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.
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.
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.
Connecting AI Assistants via MCP
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, or Antigravity to ActionBridge via MCP at https://mcp.actionbridge.io/mcp — the /mcp path is the step everyone misses. Per-client OAuth setup, what you get (tools, slash-command prompts, resources), licensing, and troubleshooting.
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.
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.
Who Can See What?
Visibility in AB Projects is decided by project membership: every member sees all of the project's tasks, comments, subtasks, and history. Roles (Owner/Admin/Member/Viewer) control what you can change, not what you can see — there are no private tasks. To hide work, use a separate channel and project.
Confidentiality and Enterprise Agreements
Confidentiality in AB Projects is done by Teams channel scoping, not per-task privacy: people outside the channel aren't project members and see nothing. There is no private-task flag, NDA workflow, watermarking, or access expiration — NDAs, data-processing terms, and private commercial arrangements are handled through Enterprise agreements.
SSO and Microsoft Login
AB Projects has no password of its own — you sign in with your Microsoft 365 work or school account through Microsoft Entra ID SSO, in Teams or at blz.actionbridge.io. Any organization can sign in; personal Microsoft accounts cannot (error AADSTS50020). Includes what to check when sign-in fails.
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
How to control what AB Projects sends you: the personal task digest in Settings, per-task deadline reminders, following tasks with the in-app notification bell, and the project-wide Teams channel notification toggles for owners and admins.
Language and Locale Settings
AB Projects is available in 11 languages, now all directly selectable from the Language and Region dropdown in Settings. How to change your language, what the setting changes, and why dates stay in ISO format.
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.
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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
Role-Based Access Control
The four project roles in AB Projects — Owner, Admin, Member, and Viewer — what each can do, how roles are changed, the guardrails around ownership and the last Admin, and how the read-only Viewer role differs from having no license seat.
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.
Task Statuses and Workflows
Manage task workflow in AB Projects by changing status, updating progress, completing tasks, and reviewing work by status in Kanban view.
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.
Task Comments and Mentions
Add task comments in AB Projects, use rich-text formatting, mention project members in Teams notifications, and review or manage the resulting discussion.
Setting Due Dates and Priorities
Set task priority, start dates, and due dates in AB Projects. Learn where dates and priority appear, how to edit them, and why changes ask for a reason.
Creating and Editing Tasks
Learn how to create, find, review, and edit tasks in AB Projects, including task fields, change reasons, comments, subtasks, linked documents, and reminders.
Inviting Team Members via Microsoft Teams
There are no email invites in AB Projects — adding someone to the linked Microsoft Teams channel is the invite. How automatic onboarding works, what happens on a person's first open, the manual invite option, guests, and how seats are granted.
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.
Creating Your First Task
Create your first task in AB Projects: open Tasks, enter the title and useful details, assign the work, save it, and continue from the task detail panel.
Supported Platforms
Where you can use AB: inside Microsoft Teams on desktop, web, and mobile, from your browser, and through AI assistants via MCP — with a Microsoft 365 work or school account. Includes the 11 supported interface languages.
