Free trial CTA from dashboard takes user to about your company page which might not be needed
While testing Free User Strategy I noticed that the Free trial CTA from the dashboard goes to https://staging.gitlab.com/-/trial_registrations/new?glm_content=gold-callout&glm_source=gitlab.com which forces the user to https://staging.gitlab.com/users/sign_up/company/new?trial=true
It's possible the user has already created a group, and has already filled out details from the "about your company" page.
I think we should change the free trial CTA to go to /trials/new
which creates the lead record properly, and applies the trial to their only group or allows them to select which namespace to apply the trial to.
Alternatively, if we are moving away from the /trials/new
page, and want everyone going through the about your company page, we should update the logic so it performs similarly.
Possible workaround
- Visit the Billing page of the relevant group.
- Click on "Start a trial".
- Visit https://gitlab.com/-/trials/new
- Fill out the form.
- Submit.
