    Weird Funnel Issue

    FEEDBACK 
    Hi guys, So I've set up a refreshed funnel for my website. When the user clicks "Try for Free", it leads to a small email sign-up page, which then navigates to a free trial—ultimately hitting a paywall. I've had success with this before but I've changed my form service as I want to allow...
