Automatic completion of the http:// protocol for the Website URL property

Hi @danhighmountain,

Why http:// is set instead of https:// is not officially documented by HubSpot. This simply seems to be the behavior that HubSpot decided on at an earlier point in time. It might be because there are still pages that do not support https://. Typically, http:// is automatically redirected to https://.

Can this be changed, so that https:// is automatically prefixed instead of http://?

I am not aware of any options to change this. The default behavior is set this way and cannot be edited.

Is there a risk if I correct existing website URL values to https:// via export and reimport?

This is unfortunately also not documented. Here, I would recommend testing with a small number (e.g., 5) of companies. You would have to perform the reimport using the Record ID in every case, otherwise new companies might simply be created. As long as the root domain part does not change, I would assume that nothing unexpected happens – but as I said: test it.

How exactly is the “Website URL” property related to “Company domain name”?

This is answered excellently here :slight_smile: Company Doman Name vs. Website URL - #2 by jnix284
