# Every “price?” under your posts, answered: Facebook and Instagram inbox in Nigeria, 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 Nigeria write in English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo, and keyword auto-replies work in English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo too.

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 Tunde 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 Nigeria 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

## EliteTeQ Inbox in Nigeria

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

In Nigeria, a lot of buying starts as a WhatsApp or Instagram message: a price check, a “is this available?”, a photo of a product. When one phone is shared between staff, those enquiries get lost overnight. EliteTeQ Inbox puts them in one list that the whole team can see, from Lagos to Kano.

Customers write in English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo, often mixed in one chat. Your team answers the way the customer writes; template messages are created in English.

Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Lagos or Abuja: 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:** +234 (e.g. +234 803 000 0000)
- **Office hours:** Run on Lagos time (WAT)
- **Weekend:** Saturday and Sunday
- **Templates:** English
- **Price:** From $29 a month, in US dollars
- **Paying:** Card, charged in Kenyan shillings at the day’s rate

## Selling on WhatsApp in Nigeria

Customers in Nigeria pay with instant bank transfer on the NIBSS rails, cards on Verve and Interswitch, USSD, and agent-network wallets including OPay, PalmPay and Moniepoint, so when a sale closes on WhatsApp the customer may confirm payment in the chat, and your team needs to see that message quickly.

### [Kano](https://eliteteqpos.com/kano/)

Kano State · the commercial hub of northern Nigeria

Kano is northern Nigeria's trading centre, with a long-established merchant economy around textiles, leather, grain and general goods, and trade routes running north toward the Sahel. Cash and agency banking remain heavily used alongside transfers, and business hours and trading peaks follow prayer times and market days rather than a uniform weekday pattern. Trade turns on market days and prayer times rather than a uniform nine-to-five, and the old city trading quarters set the pace for the whole market. Customers in Kano who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.

### [Ibadan](https://eliteteqpos.com/ibadan/)

Oyo State · a major southwestern commercial and university city

Ibadan combines one of Nigeria's largest urban markets with a substantial student and academic population, which produces two quite different trading patterns in the same city: high-volume, low-margin market trade around Bodija and Dugbe, and term-driven demand around the university corridor. Bodija and Dugbe carry the high-volume market trade while the university corridor runs on the academic calendar, so one city holds two unrelated demand curves. Many owners operate three or four small shops rather than one large one. Customers in Ibadan who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.

### [Port Harcourt](https://eliteteqpos.com/port-harcourt/)

Rivers State · the centre of Nigeria's oil and gas industry

Port Harcourt's retail and hospitality trade is tied to the oil and gas economy and the contractor and expatriate spending that comes with it, which makes demand more cyclical than in Lagos or Ibadan and raises the share of card and corporate account payments. Businesses serving industry clients often need to issue proper invoices and track credit accounts rather than only ring up walk-in sales. Demand follows contractor cycles and corporate accounts more than walk-in footfall, and the expatriate-facing venues trade on a different basket entirely. Customers in Port Harcourt who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.

### [Onitsha](https://eliteteqpos.com/onitsha/)

Anambra State · one of West Africa's largest market and distribution centres

Onitsha is a distribution city first and a retail city second: goods arrive, are broken into smaller lots and move on across the southeast and beyond. That makes wholesale pricing tiers, fast repeat-customer lookup and accurate supplier and credit tracking the core requirements, rather than table service or loyalty features. The main market sets prices for a wide swathe of the southeast, and goods arrive in bulk before being broken down and moved on within days. Customers in Onitsha who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.
