Messaging: Self-hosted onboarding emails update #124
Comments
I've pushed this live immediately, as there are users in the funnels who would be getting incorrect information as it is. Happy to take any feedback still, however. |
Do people get this messaging if they've set up the FOSS docker-based version? If so I think the first email isn't quite appropriate. Self-host4ed docker deployments won't be using kubernetes, and we shouldn't be scaring them away from self-hosted so much as enticing them to try cloud. |
No, there's a separate flow for that. The emails are similar, but they're tailored to open source and the tone is a little different. Less "You should really upgrade because K8s is dead" and more "Hope you're having fun, and did you know there are extra features on Cloud?" |
This is now launched and seems to be going well, so... |
Context
As per #123 I'm looking at the onboarding email flows. One thing I noticed is that the self-hosted email onboarding flow is still set up exactly as it was before the sunset of K8s.
This shouldn't have been a big issue because we no longer support self-hosted and discourage users from trying it, which means few people are giving it a go. They are therefore hitting content which, while not technically incorrect, could lead them to believe SH is actively supported.
I'm still investigating where users may be coming to SH from, but we want to move those users to Cloud. So, an update is needed. Documenting it here for visibility, and to get any feedback.
Current flow
The current flow is a hangover from the old, old Cloud onboarding flow with some specific tweaks in the copy. Here's a description of the current state. Worth noting that it includes

Proposed flow
We should change this flow to be more similar to the current email flow for open source users, but with a greater emphasis put on the lack of support. That would look like this:
