The AB Support Bot
The AB Support bot is for your team, not your customers — ask it a question and it answers from your desk's knowledge base with sources, check open tickets, see what is assigned to you, and pick the channel escalations land in.
Your Monthly Allowance: Transactions and AI Credits
AB Support meters two things each month — customer transactions and AI credits. What each one counts, where to watch what is left, the warning Home shows you at 80%, what happens when either runs out, and how Usage Packs add capacity.
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.
AB Support Troubleshooting
Fixes for the most common AB Support snags — replies stopping altogether, no inquiry cards, email not syncing, the AI answering wrong, the web-chat widget not appearing, WhatsApp and SMS not arriving, and signing in on the web.
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.
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.
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, the suggested reply (including drafts from AI assistants), internal notes, the activity timeline, resolve reasons and Next ticket, and undelivered replies.
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.
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.
Agents: CRM Automation
The Agent is the automation engine that finds missing websites, extracts contact emails, sends your campaign emails, and drafts AI replies when leads respond — on a 5-minute timer, with strict verification, human review, and daily caps. This article covers each stage, how to pause, and how to opt out a single lead.
