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.
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.
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 AB Support Dashboard
The AB Support tab opens on a dashboard that shows your desk's health at a glance; the ticket list is the second view. What each metric means and how to switch views.
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.
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.
Knowledge Sources: How the AI Answers
The AI answers from the knowledge sources you point it at — an AB wiki and a help channel — and cites them. Configure your sources so it can answer more and escalate less.
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.
AB Sales Troubleshooting
Answers to the most common AB Sales questions — an empty Contacts tab, missing workspaces, email that won't send, sample data, and sign-in issues.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
AB Sales: Overview
AB Sales is an AI-assisted CRM inside Microsoft Teams — capture leads, research them with AI, move them through a simple funnel, and convert the winners into customers, all where your team already works.

Data Retention and Export
How AB Projects retains data on Microsoft Azure: deletes are soft-deletes (no auto-purge, no self-serve restore window), change history and comments are preserved, and there is no built-in export yet — data export and recovery are handled as manual support requests.
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.
Exporting and Accessing Project Data
AB Projects does not yet provide CSV/report export of task or project data. This article explains how data is preserved (per-task change history, the Teams channel record) and the ways to access it today (filtered views, MCP/AI queries, the scheduled digest).
Built-in Automation
AB Projects automates the routine work out of the box — status-driven progress, subtask roll-up, automatic Teams updates, channel-driven membership sync, and the scheduled digest. There is no custom if-this-then-that rule builder; this article explains what runs automatically.
Daily Digest and AI Assistance
How AB Projects helps daily: a per-user digest of your top open tasks (email/Teams, in Settings → Task Reminders), an AI summary on each task, AI-suggested subtasks you confirm before creating, and MCP AI assistants with clear AI disclosure.
