The sandbox activation step was unclear—users needed to check their WhatsApp messages and click a button to activate the sandbox, but many users were stuck in this stage of onboarding, causing drop-offs.

The decision was to make sandbox product-led. Our discussions focused on user personas and industries to highlight how Gallabox could be personalized for them.

I coordinated with developers for the handoff process, ensuring smooth implementation of flow changes. After launch on December 24, 2024, sandbox conversion rates increased by ~3%. Alongside this, we revamped the landing page and adjusted pricing.

Phase 2 - on questioning “why” for the sandbox flow

The next phase of this flow prioritized businesses to connect their business number to WhatsApp API instead of entering the sandbox, guiding users directly into the 7-day free trial.

Problems faced in current sandbox -> free trial flow

Problems faced in current sandbox -> free trial flow

Previously, business users had to enter the sandbox before accessing the free trial, even if they had a business number. Many were unsure how to connect to the free trial and had to reach out to support for guidance. 

Users dropped off when prompted for billing details, despite the 7-day free trial. In this iteration, we’re deferring that step to a later stage.

To drive product-led growth, we streamlined the onboarding flow by de-emphasizing the sandbox, allowing users to connect their number directly and start their free trial seamlessly.

Key learnings

Key learnings

UX copies - In the old flows, I felt that the copies were rigid and less user friendly. I realized that the copies did not connect with the user much and after thoughtful consideration and exploration, I made them better.

Measuring impact - To evaluate the effectiveness of the new flows, I tracked key metrics, dropoffs, conversion rates and engagement. By diving into data, I gained deeper insights about users and was able to drive decisions better.

Removal of sandbox and introducing WhatsApp Business - Removal of sandbox is considered in the upcoming phase so that any business should connect their business number to explore Gallabox. 

Any business who has an account in WhatsApp Business app can explore Gallabox by connecting their number (which was not possible before due to Meta’s restrictions)
