Follow-up vs. Follow-through

0Hi. Is it ok to use follow-up vs. follow-through interchangeably ? I use follow-up quite frequently in my written work, but when it comes to spoken english I do not like to use it that much. My context is: I had a meeting with a client. After the meeting, I would call them to summarize our meeting. The act is following-up and can be a follow-through. I will appreciate some insights. 02br
