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.
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.
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.
MCP Tools Reference
All 40 MCP tools ActionBridge gives AI assistants — ab_* for AB Projects (tasks, schedule, Documents) and ab_crm_* for AB Sales (leads, opportunities, activities, email) — plus the slash-command prompts, resource feeds, which tools need a license, and which writes post a Microsoft Teams card.
Integration with Microsoft Teams and Adaptive Cards
How AB Projects and Microsoft Teams fit together as one system: the one-to-one channel–project link, the tab, Adaptive Card posts with two-way thread sync, the chip-picker mention model, and Microsoft SSO with channel-driven membership.
Notifications and Reminders
The three notification types in AB Projects: real-time Adaptive Card activity in the linked Teams channel (with per-project category toggles), a scheduled top-10 task digest by email or Teams chat, and one-shot per-task deadline reminders set with the task's bell.
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.
