    Cool has informed me

    Hello!

    Can we use the present perfect and the past simple interchangeably here, please?

    -I suppose your colleague has informed/informed you that the meeting was cancelled.

    -My colleague has informed/informed me that the meeting was cancelled.

    Thank you
    Will
