keeping someone in the loop
Maintaining constant communication
Keeping someone in the loop means providing them with ongoing information about a situation or project so they stay informed.
The loop is the circle of people who know what's happening: Make sure to keep me in the loop on any developments.
The opposite is being out of the loop—uninformed or excluded from relevant communication.
