Offering a free trial is a common way to attract new subscription customers. But do you know how well your trials convert? Use Zaybra reports. Here's how.

Free trials are a common way to attract new clients, but can be difficult to track and report on. saas•hapily's subscription properties and workflow triggers make it easy to set up a stellar free trial conversion report so your team knows how well your offers work.

Getting started with free trial conversion reporting

To begin, Navigate to your Property settings in HubSpot.

Here you will Create a new “saas•hapily Subscription” Property and Label it with a name. (In this Example we used “Free Trial Conversion”)

Next step: workflows

After you have set up your Field labels, Navigate to your Workflows in HubSpot.

Here we will create a new saas•hapily Subscription Workflow. Choose a Custom Object Workflow option and create it with the saas•hapily Subscription as the enrollment trigger.

Note: If you don't have Custom Objects and your saas•hapily Subscriptions populate as Deals instead, you can create a Deal based Workflow here.

Within the Enrollment Triggers options, set up the Subscription Status to equal “trialing”, “active”, “canceled”.

Select “and” to add another trigger. The second enrollment trigger will be Subscription Status has been updated in the last 1 Day.
