Is promptly a synonym of quickly?

Answer:
They are not exactly synonymous. Promptly means that you respond with a minimum of delay. Quickly can mean the same thing, response within a short period of time; however, quickly can also mean working at a fast pace, getting many things done in a short period of time, or doing one, single thing speedily.

Promptly can also mean "on time", as in arriving promptly, for a date.
