Hello,

I’m using the HubSpot API to create/update companies from our website (

[https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/companies](https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/objects/companies) endpoint, either POST or PATCH depending on need). All my standard and custom properties are working as expected, with the excetion of **domain** , which I cannot seem to set. My understanding is the API only supports accessing the primary domain, which is fine, however I’m not able to set anything unless I do it through the web interface.

Sample JSON sent in the request is shown below. Data has been obscured, obviously.

@RSDigital ,

Is it possible to show how the json looks when it is submitted?

Something like this:

```lia-code-sample
{
 "properties": {
 "domain": "demo.net"
 }
}

```

I was able to successfully patch a company’s domain property with the above.

Hi @RSDigital ,  
Have a look of this screenshot : [https://prnt.sc/1duuzhx](https://prnt.sc/1duuzhx)  
Use below json code for update company with “put” method request  
[https://api.hubapi.com/companies/v2/companies/\<companyID\>?hapikey=demo](https://api.hubapi.com/companies/v2/companies/%3CcompanyID%3E?hapikey=demo)  
Example PUT JSON:  
{  
“properties”: [  
{  
“name”: “domain”,  
“value”: “\<domain\_name\>”  
}  
]  
}

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tips; I’m still unable to programmatically set this, but I think it’s HubSpot trying to outsmart itself. In an case, since I can’t set multiple domains via API (see

[https://www.hubspot.com/product-updates/add-multiple-domains-to-companies-in-hubspot](https://www.hubspot.com/product-updates/add-multiple-domains-to-companies-in-hubspot)) I believe this is moot, at least for my needs.
