You are messaging a colleague you address informally. Read the exchange, confirm a detail and say what happens next; these are chat messages, not formal emails.
The idea
Give the topic and the useful detail first: Toplantı bugün saat üçte. A reply can acknowledge the message with Tamam and add an action: birazdan bakıyorum means “I’ll take a look shortly” here. Use Lütfen bana haber ver to request an update; Sana haber vereceğim commits you to sending one.

Deniz: Lütfen bana haber ver.
Ece: Sana haber vereceğim.
Deniz: Teşekkürler, sonra görüşürüz.

Watch out
Do not reverse who will act: haber ver asks the other person to tell you, while haber vereceğim says you will tell them. Tamam alone acknowledges the message; it does not say that the file has been checked.
Try it yourself
Complete the message: the meeting is at three today. Write “at three”: Toplantı bugün ___.
Show answer or example answer
üçte / saat üçte
üçte or saat üçte: the blank needs a time, “at three”, not the bare number üç. After ç, the ending starts with t.
Ask a colleague to let you know. Choose haber ver or haber vereceğim: Lütfen bana ___.
Show answer or example answer
haber ver
haber ver: you want the colleague to contact you, so this is a request addressed to them. Bana identifies you as the recipient.
Promise that you will give the update. Choose haber ver or haber vereceğim: Sana ___.
Show answer or example answer
haber vereceğim
haber vereceğim: the sender promises to act. Sana tells us the colleague will receive the update; the ending identifies the speaker as the person giving it.
Add the separate question particle: Dosya sana ulaştı ___?
Show answer or example answer
mı
mı: the last vowel of ulaştı is ı, so this question takes mı. Leave a space before it: ulaştı mı?.
