Facebook & Instagram inbox

Every “price?” under your posts, answeredFacebook and Instagram inbox in Tanzania, 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 Tanzania write in Swahili and English, and keyword auto-replies work in Swahili and English too.

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 Juma 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.

Separate apps vs one inbox

EliteTeQ Inbox in Tanzania

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

In Tanzania, customers in Dar es Salaam and Arusha ask about stock and prices on WhatsApp first. EliteTeQ Inbox lets several staff answer from one business number.

Customers in Tanzania mostly write in Swahili. Your team replies in Swahili, and template messages can be created in Swahili or English.

Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Dar es Salaam: 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.

Selling on WhatsApp in Tanzania

Customers in Tanzania pay with M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money, cards, and bank transfers, so when a sale closes on WhatsApp the customer may confirm payment in the chat, and your team needs to see that message quickly.

Mbeya

Mbeya Region · the main commercial centre of Tanzania's southern highlands

Mbeya sits on the main road and rail corridor toward Zambia and Malawi, so trucking and cross-border trade feed its markets alongside a strong agricultural trade. Agricultural trade and traffic on the corridor toward Zambia and Malawi keep wholesale busy. Customers in Mbeya who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.

Dar es Salaam

Dar es Salaam Region · Tanzania's commercial capital and principal port

Dar es Salaam concentrates most of Tanzania's formal trade, from the dense wholesale activity around Kariakoo to the higher-basket retail and restaurant corridors along the peninsula. Kariakoo runs dense wholesale trade while the peninsula carries higher-basket retail and restaurants, and traffic between them is heavy enough to make transfers impractical. Customers in Dar es Salaam who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.

Dodoma

Dodoma Region · Tanzania's political capital

Dodoma's trade has grown with the relocation of government functions, giving it steady weekday demand driven by public-sector and institutional spending rather than by port or industrial activity. Electronic fiscal receipting applies here as nationally. Relocated government functions give steady weekday institutional demand and a quieter weekend than commercial cities. Customers in Dodoma who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.
