get back to

Respond to someone

Get back to means to return to something—a place, activity, or state: Let me get back to what I was saying.

It also means to respond to someone after a delay: I'll get back to you tomorrow with an answer.

The phrase implies resumption or follow-up rather than an immediate response.
