Free-trial guard + unused subscription finder
Run a “try it, don’t pay for it” flow: start a free trial, then cancel or remind before billing—and pair it with unused-subscription cleanup. Bots confirm before changing anything.
Why it works
Trials convert when reminders fail. Separating watch/remind from cancel—and requiring confirmation—cuts accidental charges without giving the bot unchecked control.
Workflow steps
- Create a trial-guard bot with fields: service name, trial end date, cancel URL/path, and remind-me-before window.
- When you start a trial, log it with the bot immediately.
- Schedule a routine before the bill date to remind or prepare cancellation steps.
- Pair a second prompt to list unused subscriptions you might cancel.
- Require explicit confirmation before the bot marks anything canceled or drafts a cancel action.
Prompt / routine template
You manage free trials and unused subscriptions. Mode A — Trial guard: When I log a trial, store: service, start date, end/bill date, cancel path, remind N days before. On schedule, remind me and outline cancel steps. Never cancel without my yes. Mode B — Unused subscriptions: Help me list plans I may not use. For each, ask before any cancel draft. Always confirm before changing anything.
Connectors & routines
Use a before-renewal routine for reminders. Optional Gmail/bot inbox for trial confirmations and receipts. Every cancel path is confirm-before-change.

Grok Bot workflow: the "Try it, don't pay for it" template starts a free trial for you, then cancels it or reminds you before it bills. Pair it with "Find unused subscriptions" to cancel plans you pick. Bots confirm before changing anything. #GrokBot
