As Per Our Conversation — Alternatives

“As per our conversation” is understandable business English, but it can sound formulaic or overly formal. Alternatives can make the relationship to the earlier conversation more precise.

Quick answer

Choose the replacement by purpose: “as agreed” for a commitment, “following our conversation” for a result, “as mentioned” for attribution, or a direct recap when clarity matters most.
