Filtering Tasks and Saving Views

How task filters work in AB Projects: every condition the filter panel offers, saving a filter set you reuse, sharing a filtered view as a link, and why filters stick between visits.

Campaigns: Multi-Step Email Sequences

A campaign is an ordered sequence of emails the Agent sends a lead over time, stopping the moment they reply. Covers entry filters, steps and wait days, priority, what ends a sequence, and why nothing sends until a campaign exists.

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.

Your Personal Settings

Your personal AB Support settings — profile, language, timezone, and the opt-in ticket digest email — and how they differ from a desk's admin-only settings.

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.

AB Support Troubleshooting

Fixes for the most common AB Support snags — no inquiry cards in the channel, email not syncing, the AI answering wrong, and the web-chat widget not appearing.

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.

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.

Web Forms: Turning "Contact Us" into Tickets

A Contact us web form becomes a ticket; the reply is emailed to the visitor. Use the hosted form or POST your own to the endpoint.

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.

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 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.

AB Support: Overview

AB Support is AI-assisted customer service inside Microsoft Teams — customers reach you by web chat, email, forms, WhatsApp and SMS; tickets land in one queue your team works. The hub for every AB Support help page.

Who Can See What? (AB Sales)

Visibility in AB Sales is workspace-based: every workspace member sees that workspace's whole pipeline, each workspace's data is isolated, and roles (Owner/Admin/Member) control management, not visibility.

AB Sales Troubleshooting

Answers to the most common AB Sales questions — an empty Contacts tab, being unable to add leads, missing workspaces, email that won't send, sample data, and sign-in issues.

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.

Sales Workspaces: Channel-Linked vs Standalone

A workspace is one self-contained CRM. AB Sales has two kinds — channel-linked (shared with a Teams channel) and standalone (yours in the personal app). How to create and switch between them.

Installing the AB Sales Teams App

How to install AB Sales in Microsoft Teams — as a personal app for your own pipeline and as a channel tab for a pipeline your whole team shares.

CRM Settings

Everything in the CRM Settings page — automation on/off, the sending mailbox and daily email cap, the Teams notification channel, and labels. Templates and campaigns now live on the Agents tab. Owner/Admin only.

Agents: CRM Automation

The Agent is the automation engine that finds missing websites, extracts contact emails from company pages, and sends your campaign emails — 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.

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.

Teams Channel and Project Linking in AB Projects

How AB Projects links each Microsoft Teams channel one-to-one with a project: the link is made when the tab is added, membership syncs from the channel roster automatically, and comments flow between task and channel thread.

Why AB Projects Requires Microsoft Graph Permissions

Every Microsoft Graph permission AB Projects requests, mapped to the feature it powers: Teams channel linking and roster sync, task cards and comment sync in channels, Outlook calendar scheduling, and Microsoft SSO. Most access is delegated (limited to what you can already do); the Entra ID consent screen is the authoritative list.

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.

Gantt Chart View and Timeline Tracking

How the AB Projects Gantt view works: tasks with start and due dates become status-colored bars with progress fill and dependency arrows; today and weekends are highlighted. Bars aren't draggable by design — every date change carries a reason into the task's change history and the Teams channel, which a drag can't record.

Understanding Projects and Teams

What a project is in AB Projects: a shared workspace of tasks, wiki, and documents tied one-to-one to a Microsoft Teams channel, with membership synced from the channel and four roles — Owner, Admin, Member, and Viewer.

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.

Navigating the Interface

How to get around any ActionBridge app in Microsoft Teams — a personal app with a Home tab plus product tabs, channel tabs for shared team work, and the same data on the web.

Supported Platforms
