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.
The AB Sales Bot: Chat Commands
Ask the AB Sales bot for your leads, pipeline, or customers — or create a lead — right from a Teams chat. All commands work in English and Japanese.
Working the Ticket Queue
How to scan, filter, and work the AB Support ticket queue: the inbox row signals, quick filters and sort, saved filters, keyboard triage, and bulk actions.
AB Support — Reviewer & Publisher Reference
Reference for Microsoft store reviewers: what AB Support does, an end-to-end test path, and why each requested permission is needed.
Installing AB Support in Teams
How to add AB Support to a Microsoft Teams channel and turn it into a working support desk. Your agents work in Teams; your customers never touch it.
Your Customer Store
Everyone who contacts your AB Support desk becomes a customer record, recognized by email so returning people bring their history. It's AB Support's own store, separate from the AB Sales CRM.
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 an interactive dashboard: its metric tiles are clickable and open the ticket list filtered to exactly those tickets. Which tiles click through, which don't, and how to read the numbers.
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.
AB Support Settings
Two things are called settings in AB Support: your personal settings (language, timezone, ticket digest) and a desk's admin-only settings (channels, statuses, knowledge, members and roles), reached from inside the 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, then hands off to a human; plus the Open/Pending/Closed status categories, internal notes, the activity timeline, resolve/reopen reasons, and undelivered replies.
How Customers Reach You
The ways customers reach your AB Support desk — web chat, support email, web forms, plus WhatsApp and SMS — and how each becomes a ticket your team handles in Teams.

The Channel Tab and Notifications
The AB Sales channel tab gives your whole team one shared pipeline, and posts notifications to the channel when leads and customers are created. What everyone sees, and why it's the same for all members.
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, and deliverability.
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.
Opportunities
An Opportunity is a specific deal in AB Sales — an amount, a close date, and a stage. Attached to a customer or a lead; win and convert it to turn a lead into a customer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
SSO and Microsoft Login
AB Projects has no password of its own — you sign in with your Microsoft 365 work or school account through Microsoft Entra ID SSO, in Teams or at blz.actionbridge.io. Any organization can sign in; personal Microsoft accounts cannot (error AADSTS50020). Includes what to check when sign-in fails.
