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.
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.
Key details
Important caveats
Tone Boundary
“Per our conversation” is not inherently ungrammatical; the concern is style, formality, and specificity.
Further guidance
Clarity
A direct recap can be better than any stock phrase when the email needs to create a clear record of next steps.
Example
Instead of “As per our conversation, I changed the launch date,” write “As agreed on our call, I moved the launch to 14 October.”
Practical Application
Choose the alternative by function: “as agreed” for a commitment, “following our conversation” for a resulting action, “as mentioned” for attribution, or a direct recap when the reader needs the substance rather than a formula.
Purpose Based Alternatives
Grammarly recommends alternatives such as “as mentioned,” “as agreed,” and “following our conversation,” depending on what the earlier discussion established.
Reader Check
