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.
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.
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.

Teams Channel and Project Linking in AB Projects
Learn how AB Projects links each Microsoft Teams channel one-to-one with a project, and how membership follows the channel automatically — opening the tab syncs the whole roster, so members don't each need to visit to be added, assigned, or mentioned.
AI Support Features in AB Projects
What AI does in AB Projects today: an AI greeting on the dashboard, an AI summary and suggested subtasks on tasks, a Teams bot with commands plus conversational AI (1-on-1 and channel @mention), and MCP assistants — all with clear AI disclosure.
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.
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.
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).
Integration with Microsoft Teams and Adaptive Cards
How AB Projects integrates with Microsoft Teams: one-to-one channel tab, Adaptive Cards posted for every comment and task change with a two-way thread, the chip-picker mention model that fires Teams @mentions, and Microsoft SSO with channel-driven membership (no license gate).
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.
Role-Based Access Control
Learn how roles work in AB Projects. Every member is an Owner, Admin, or Member; new members join as Member by default. Admin and Owner control members, the Teams link, and workflow configuration, all scoped per project.
Understanding Projects and Teams
How projects and Microsoft Teams fit together in AB Projects: a project is a scoped workspace linked to one Teams channel, its members auto-synced from that channel, with Owner/Admin/Member roles. Users belong to many projects and switch via the Projects tab.
Subtasks and Task Hierarchy
Break large tasks into manageable subtasks in AB Projects. Create new subtasks, attach existing tasks, use AI suggestions, and review progress from the parent task.
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
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.
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.
