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.

Plans, Pricing, and Your Lead Allowance

AB Sales is priced by how many new leads you add, not by how many people use it. Your first 100 leads are free, a plan adds 1,000 new leads a month, and the allowance is shared across every workspace in your organization.

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, the suggested reply (including drafts from AI assistants), internal notes, the activity timeline, resolve reasons and Next ticket, and undelivered replies.

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, campaigns, AI-drafted replies, and deliverability.

Document Comments and Teams Notifications

Learn how to discuss project documents and how document creation and edits notify your linked Teams channel.

Creating and Editing Documents

Learn how to create, organize, edit, preview, and review versions of project documents in ActionBridge.

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.

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.

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.

Images or Files Won't Upload

Image won't upload in AB Projects? Uploads are images embedded via the editor (comments, descriptions) and the profile/project icon pickers — icons are capped at 2 MB — stored in AB's own cloud storage, not OneDrive/SharePoint. Check format, size, session, and network.

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.

Data Retention and Export

How AB Projects retains data: nothing is purged on a timer, change history and comments are preserved, and deleting a task is permanent — there is no recycle bin. Data is hosted on Microsoft Azure (Japan East). No self-serve export yet; exports and account-data deletion are handled by support on request.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Using Tabs for Task Management

Manage tasks from the AB Projects channel tab in Microsoft Teams: List, Gantt, and Kanban views, creating tasks, the slide-in detail panel, comments with mentions, remembered filters, and how every change is logged with a reason and posted to the channel.

Installing the AB Projects Teams App

How to install AB Projects in Microsoft Teams: add the app from the Teams app store or Microsoft Marketplace, then add the channel tab to link a channel to a project — with automatic Microsoft 365 sign-in, project types, the included bot, and licensing basics.

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.

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.

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.

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.
