# Every “price?” under your posts, answered: Facebook and Instagram inbox in the United Arab Emirates, next to WhatsApp

**Every DM and every comment on your posts lands in the same inbox as your WhatsApp chats.**

Customers ask the same question in three places: a WhatsApp message, an Instagram DM and a “price?” under a post. EliteTeQ Inbox brings them together, so one team answers all of them, and the comments get the same speed as the DMs. Customers in the United Arab Emirates write in English, Arabic, Hindi and Urdu, and keyword auto-replies work in English, Arabic, Hindi and Urdu too.

- Facebook Messenger and Instagram DMs
- Comments on Facebook and Instagram posts
- Automatic replies by keyword, public or private

Bring my comments into one inbox free: https://crm.eliteteqpos.com/signup (7 days free · no card needed · Facebook and Instagram on every plan)

## The comments nobody saw

> People ask “price?” under our posts and we notice days later.

Comments on your Facebook and Instagram posts land in a Comments tab, with the post they belong to, until someone marks them handled.

> We type the same answer about price and location all day.

Make a rule once: when a comment says “price”, “cost” or “how much”, reply under the post and send the details in a private message.

> Instagram DMs are on one phone and WhatsApp on another.

Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp chats share one list, each with its channel badge.

### How many “price?” comments are sitting under your posts right now?

Send us your Page or Instagram name. We connect them with you and set up your first automatic reply for the questions you get most.

## How Facebook and Instagram join the inbox

Connect once; from then on DMs and comments arrive with your WhatsApp chats.

1. **Connect your Page and Instagram** — Link your Facebook Page and the Instagram account connected to it, in Settings.
2. **DMs arrive as chats** — Messenger and Instagram conversations appear in the inbox with their channel badge, ready to assign.
3. **Comments get their own tab** — When Rahul comments “how much?” under a post, it appears in Comments with the post, ready for a reply.
4. **Set automatic replies** — Choose keywords like “price” and write a public reply, a private message, or both. They go out by themselves.

## Can I manage Facebook and Instagram messages with WhatsApp in one inbox?

Yes. EliteTeQ Inbox connects your Facebook Page and Instagram account alongside your WhatsApp Business number. Messenger chats and Instagram DMs land in the same inbox as WhatsApp, and comments on your posts land in a Comments tab, so one team in the United Arab Emirates answers every channel from one place.

- Messenger, Instagram DMs and WhatsApp in one list
- Comments with the post they belong to
- Automatic public or private replies by keyword
- Included on every plan
