Facebook & Instagram inbox

Every “price?” under your posts, answeredFacebook and Instagram inbox in Uganda, 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 Uganda write in English, Luganda and Swahili, and keyword auto-replies work in English, Luganda and Swahili 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 Mugisha 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

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

EliteTeQ Inbox in Uganda

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

In Uganda, customers in Kampala ask about prices and delivery on WhatsApp before they buy. EliteTeQ Inbox keeps every enquiry visible to the team until it is answered.

Customers in Uganda write in English, Luganda and other languages. Your team replies the way they write; template messages can be created in English or Swahili.

Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Kampala: 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 Uganda

Customers in Uganda pay with MTN MoMo and 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.

Gulu

Northern Region · the largest city in northern Uganda and its main trade hub

Gulu is the commercial centre of northern Uganda, supplying surrounding districts and trade heading north toward South Sudan. Mobile money is the everyday way to pay, wholesale and retail often run side by side, and power and network interruptions are part of normal trading. Traders supply the surrounding districts and cross-border buyers, so wholesale and retail often run from the same shop. Customers in Gulu who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.

Kampala

Central Region · Uganda's capital and commercial centre

Kampala holds the bulk of Uganda's formal trade, split between dense downtown wholesale markets and the higher-basket retail and restaurant areas on the surrounding hills. Mobile money is the default tender for most transactions. Downtown carries dense wholesale market trade while the surrounding hills hold the higher-basket retail and restaurants, each with a different payment mix. Customers in Kampala who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.

Entebbe

Central Region · a lakeside town and the site of the international airport

Entebbe's trade is shaped by the international airport and lakeside hospitality, which gives it a higher share of visitor spending, card payment and foreign currency than Kampala. Airport traffic and lakeside hospitality give a higher share of visitor spending, card payment and foreign currency than the capital. Customers in Entebbe who find you on Instagram or Facebook land in the same list as WhatsApp.
