How did your first run with {{product}} go?

Hi {{name}},

Glad to see your first experience on {{product}} went through. Getting that first one right matters a lot to us.

Would you share how it went, in your own words? What you were hoping for, and whether it delivered. A sentence or two is perfect, and honest is better than glowing.
