liaised

Served as go-between

Liaised is the past tense of liaise, meaning to establish communication or cooperation between groups or individuals.

The word typically appears in professional or military contexts: She liaised with the marketing team on the campaign, He liaised between headquarters and field operations.

Some consider liaise a back-formation from liaison and avoid it, but it's standard in British English and increasingly common in American usage.
