CRM Settings
Everything you can configure in the CRM Settings page — automation enable/disable, mail provider, shared mailbox vs user principal, daily email cap, Teams notification channel, and HTML email templates with placeholders.
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 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.
Connecting AI Assistants via MCP
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, and Antigravity to AB Projects via the Model Context Protocol (https://mcp.actionbridge.io/mcp). Per-client OAuth setup, how access keys work, and troubleshooting.
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.
Managing Subscriptions & Billing
How AB Projects pricing works: a free tier (up to 10 users), Team ($5) and Business ($10) per active user per month, and custom Enterprise. Access is via Microsoft SSO and Teams-channel membership — there is no Microsoft 365 license to assign. See actionbridge.io/pricing for current details.
Notification Preferences
What you can configure for AB Projects notifications: your personal task digest's delivery method (email/Teams) and schedule, in Settings → Task Reminders. Real-time Teams channel activity is automatic; per-event toggles, task following, per-task due reminders, and an in-app inbox don't exist yet.
Editing Your Profile and Icon
Edit your AB Projects profile from the Settings tab: display name, profile icon, language, timezone, and email signature. Your name and icon are seeded from Microsoft 365 and appear in tasks, comments, mentions, and Teams Adaptive Cards.
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.
Notifications and Reminders
How notifications work in AB Projects: real-time Adaptive Card activity and @mentions in the linked Teams channel, plus a per-user scheduled digest of your top open tasks by email and/or Teams direct message, configured in personal Settings → Task Reminders.
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.
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 — from the Tasks tab in Microsoft Teams, or let an AI agent create it for you. Learn how to add details, assign it to a project member, and discuss it with comments and @mentions.
