We prove a new (conditional) result towards the subconvexity problem for certain automorphic $L$-functions for $\mathrm{GL}_2 \times \mathrm{GL}_3$. This follows from the computation of new $\mathrm{SL}_2$-period integrals associated with newforms $f$ and $g$ of even weight and odd squarefree level. The same computations also lead to a central value formula for degree $6$ complex $L$-series of the form $L(f \otimes \mathrm{Ad}(g), s)$, extending previous work in arXiv:1804.02352.
