10 Professional Ways To Say "I Will Let You Know"

We can use “I will let you know” when we don’t have all the answers at the minute. We might need to take some time to figure out what to say before saying it. However, there are more professional synonyms out there, and this article will look into them.

The preferred version is “I will keep you posted.” It works well to show that you are constantly getting updates about answers, and you might have more information to “post” to whoever is asking you about it. It’s a great tool to show that you’re considering their query.

I Will Keep You Posted

“I will keep you posted” works because we can “post” people with information. It’s a verb that means we will consistently update them, but we’ll only provide new information as and when it appears for us.

We will keep you posted. We’ll have an answer by the end of the week, so you can expect it by then.
I will keep you posted. Just make sure you check your emails to see if we’ve messaged you.
I will keep you posted. Once I’ve made my final decision, and all the candidates have applied, you will have your answer.

I Will Update You

“I will update you” works well when you want to share an update with someone. We can also establish a rough time to expect this update, which helps many people to worry less about it.

I will update you as soon as I can. For now, just sit tight and wait for my call.

I’ll update you with news when we’ve made our decision. You shouldn’t be waiting too long.

I’ll update you when I can. Please be patient while I try and gather all the required information.

I Will Keep You Informed

“I will keep you informed” is great because it shows that you are ready to provide more information. Generally, “informed” in this case implies that you will relay the information to someone as soon as you receive it.

I will keep you informed on the matter. I think it’s important we work closely here.
I’ll keep you informed. You don’t need to worry too much, though. I know what I’m doing.
So, I will keep you informed. If anything new pops up, you’ll be the first to know about it.

I Will Inform You

“I will inform you” is great when you want to show that you will have more information about something. We can use the “inform” verb here with the assertive “will” to show that we are certain we will have more information to share if given enough time.

I will inform you as soon as I can. Please wait by the phone, ready for my call.

This Will Be More Detailed

“This will be more detailed” works when we have more information to provide. We can use “more detailed” to show that someone can expect more from us, but we don’t currently have the details they might be looking for.

This will be more detailed as soon as I have more information. Until then, I can only give you the basics.
Of course, this will be more detailed in the future. I just have to make sure I know all the facts.
This will be more detailed as and when I can make it work. Don’t worry; we’ll sort it.

Give Me Some Time

“Give me some time” shows that you need a little bit of thought before giving an answer. It’s a great way to show that you haven’t got what someone is looking for, but you should be able to get back to them with enough time.

The only problem is that “some time” is very broad. It could refer to a few hours, a few days, or even longer. Some people don’t like waiting around for “some time.”

Give me some time to figure out a good answer for this. I don’t want to let you down.
You’ll have to give me some time before getting back to you, okay? I want to make sure I get the answer right.

Give me some time, as I need to go over a few figures before I can give you a direct response.

Bear With Me

“Bear with me” works professionally and informally. We can use it to show that we are busy trying to figure something out. “Bear” is a verb in this case. It means we need a little bit of time and patience, and we want someone to respect that before asking.

Just bear with me while I come up with a good solution. I want to make sure this is perfect, you know?
Okay, but can you bear with me? I know you’re eager to learn more, but I don’t have all the answers yet.

Please bear with me. I’ll have to talk to my manager, and he’s not back in the office until five.

I Will Be In Touch

“I will be in touch” is a simple way to show that we’ll respond to someone when we have more information. “In touch” is a communicative phrase we use to show that there will be future updates. As soon as we have them, we will provide them to whoever needs them.

Don’t worry; I will be in touch. I wouldn’t leave you in the dark with any of this information.
Okay, I will be in touch. I’ve got all the information I need from you right now, so you’re free to go.
We will be in touch. Make sure you read your emails over the next few days to find out our answer.

You Can Expect To Hear From Me Soon

“You can expect to hear from me soon” is great because it shows that you’re planning on giving more information. Rather than relying on the other person to contact you, you can use this to show that you will be the one starting communications when you know more.

You can expect to hear from me soon. Once I’ve spoken to my superiors, I should have a better idea of what’s happening.
You can expect to hear from me soon, and I won’t let you down. We’ll figure this out together.
Oh, you can expect to hear from me again soon. I’ll have everything you need gathered and ready by next week.

Check With Me Again Tomorrow

“Check with me again tomorrow” allows someone to ask you another question the next day. We can replace “tomorrow” with any day when we think we’ll have a clearer idea.

The only issue with this phrase is that it means they will expect an answer from you. Of course, if you haven’t managed to come up with an answer in the timeframe, they will be disappointed.

Check with me again tomorrow. I should have a lot more information by then, and I’ll happily share it.
Please check with me again tomorrow. I think I know what I need to do before then.
You should check with me again tomorrow. I know I’ll be able to talk to the boss before then.

It might also help to look back at the original phrase. Now that we’ve covered all the synonyms, we can still use “I will let you know.”

“I will let you know” means that we might need more time to decide or might need more information before giving an answer. It works best when you go away to find out more about something before answering someone.
