Opportunities
An Opportunity is a specific deal — an amount, a close date, and a stage. Attached to a Customer (or sometimes a Lead). Tracks the money side of the relationship.
Contacts
A Contact is a person attached to either a Customer or a Lead in AB Sales Management Service. One parent can carry multiple contacts — the buyer, the technical reviewer, the decision-maker.
Customers
A Customer is an established account in AB Sales Management Service — typically promoted from a qualified Lead. Customers can carry multiple Contacts and Opportunities.
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 Management Service: Overview
AB Sales Management Service is the CRM side of AB Projects — leads, contacts, opportunities, customers, and an Agent that automates research and outreach. Lives in the same workspace, shares the same Microsoft Teams integration.
Linking Documents to Tasks & Finding Pages
Connect AB Projects Documents to tasks both ways, navigate and search the page tree, and let MCP-connected AI assistants read, search, create, and update documents with AI disclosure.
Creating and Editing Documents
How to create, edit, version, and delete project Documents in AB Projects: Markdown pages with a parent path, tags, a required edit note on changes, full version history, and version restore.
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.
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).
Task Comments and Mentions
How task comments and @mentions work in AB Projects: a rich-text comment editor with image upload, mentioning specific project members, and automatic two-way sync with the linked Microsoft Teams channel thread. AI assistants can comment too.
Creating and Editing Tasks
Create and edit tasks in AB Projects: the Create Task form fields, editing each attribute through quick panels that record a reason in the task's change history, plus subtasks, attachments, AI summaries and AI-suggested subtasks — all shared back to your Teams channel.
