Is it correct to say "We will update you timely?"
My colleague just sent an email to our client saying "We will update you timely". I have doubt if this is correct or not. I know the expression "in a timely matter". In this case i would have said "We will keep you updated", but probably she wanted to say that she would soon send updates to the client...
Thanks

Question

Answer

"We will update you in a timely manner."
"We will keep you updated."

Both are very natural sounding in American English.

Answer

"We will update you timely" is not correct.

Answer

I agree with Bruce.  She could also say, "We will update you soon," if that is what she means.

Answer

Two other options are: We will update you when we are in a position to do so or, if its very formal, we will update you timeously.
