# Every “price?” under your posts, answered: Facebook and Instagram inbox in Côte d'Ivoire, 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 Côte d'Ivoire write in French, and keyword auto-replies work in French too.

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

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 Yao 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 Côte d'Ivoire 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

## What changes for your social team

No more switching between apps, or comments that nobody saw.

### One list for every channel

Each chat shows its channel, so the team knows whether it is answering on WhatsApp, Messenger or Instagram. Filter to one channel when you need to.

- Channel badges on every chat
- Assign and comment the same way on every channel
- Each customer becomes a lead in the pipeline

### Comments, answered like chats

A two-pane Comments view shows the post and its threaded comments. Reply in public, send the commenter a private message, or both, from one box, with saved replies.

- Post card with the comment thread
- Public/private switch in one composer
- Saved replies for common questions

### Automatic replies by keyword

Make a rule: when a comment on Facebook, Instagram or both contains “price”, “how much” or “available”, reply publicly and send the details in a private message.

- Up to 40 keywords per rule
- Choose Facebook, Instagram or both
- Turn rules on and off any time

## Separate apps vs one inbox

The channels are different; the customer in Abidjan is the same.

|---|---|
| WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram on different devices | All in one list, with channel badges |
| Comments noticed late, or not at all | A Comments tab with every post’s thread |

## EliteTeQ Inbox in Côte d'Ivoire

Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp customers in Côte d'Ivoire land in the same pipeline, so a buyer who first commented on a post and later messaged on WhatsApp is still one lead.

In Côte d’Ivoire, shops and services in Abidjan sell a great deal through WhatsApp conversations and Facebook pages. EliteTeQ Inbox brings both into one place for the team.

Customers in Côte d’Ivoire mostly write in French. Your team replies in French, and template messages for customers who haven’t written in 24 hours can be created in French too.

Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Abidjan: weekdays open, Saturday mornings open, Sunday closed. Anyone who writes while you are closed gets your away message, at most once every 12 hours, and the chat waits at the top of the list for the morning.

- **Numbers:** +225 (e.g. +225 07 00 00 00 00)
- **Office hours:** Run on Abidjan time (GMT)
- **Weekend:** Saturday and Sunday
- **Templates:** English or French
- **Price:** From $29 a month, in US dollars
- **Paying:** Card, charged in Kenyan shillings at the day’s rate

## Selling on WhatsApp in Côte d'Ivoire

Customers in Côte d'Ivoire pay with Orange Money, MTN MoMo, Moov Money and Wave wallets, cards, and cash, so when a sale closes on WhatsApp the customer may confirm payment in the chat, and your team needs to see that message quickly.

### [Korhogo](https://eliteteqpos.com/korhogo/)

Savanes District · the largest city in northern Côte d'Ivoire

Korhogo is the commercial centre of northern Côte d'Ivoire, trading in agricultural produce such as cotton and cashew alongside crafts. Mobile money (Orange Money, MTN, Wave) is widely used, and taxes are administered by the Direction Générale des Impôts. Agricultural trade and crafts feed a busy regional market. Customers in Korhogo who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.

### [Abidjan](https://eliteteqpos.com/abidjan/)

Abidjan Autonomous District · Côte d'Ivoire's economic capital and principal port

Abidjan is the commercial centre of francophone West Africa, and its retail geography is genuinely segmented: the business district of Plateau, the dense trading quarters of Adjamé and Treichville, and the higher-basket restaurant and retail corridors of Cocody and Marcory each behave differently. Plateau trades on weekdays for offices, Adjamé and Treichville run dense low-margin market commerce, and Cocody and Marcory carry higher-basket retail and restaurants. Each has its own peak hour. Customers in Abidjan who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.

### [Yamoussoukro](https://eliteteqpos.com/yamoussoukro/)

Yamoussoukro Autonomous District · Côte d'Ivoire's political capital

Yamoussoukro is the official capital and an administrative and institutional centre rather than a trading one, so retail and hospitality demand follows government activity, conferences and visitor flows more than market days. Commerce follows the institutional calendar — conferences, official visits and government activity — rather than market days, leaving quiet stretches between. Most businesses hold a single site. Customers in Yamoussoukro who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.
