'back in touch' is the definition.
The definition suggests a verb in its base form which matches the answer.

'survey web about latest in chic' is the wordplay.
'survey' becomes 'recon' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'web' becomes 'net' (synonyms).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'latest in' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'chic' is 'c'.
'net' enclosing 'c' is 'nect'.
'recon'+'nect'='RECONNECT'

'to get' is the link.
