Why does HubSpot allow us to create duplicate companies with the same URL? Is there a way to prevent a new company from being created if one with the same URL already exists?
Also, is there a setting that would prevent creating a company if one already exists for the same country?
Hi @Xiawanbai,
HubSpot will flag the potential duplicate upon manual company creation, see here:
But yes, HubSpot will let you proceed still. There’s a good reason for that: multiple legal entities might share the same company domain.
They would still pop up in the duplicates tool most likely: Review and manage duplicate records
And no, there no setting that would block the creation of another company with the same domain.
Also, is there a setting that would prevent creating a company if one already exists for the same country?
No, unfortunately not. There’s no way to enforce this through the HubSpot UI. You could request such a feature in the ideas section of the community: https://community.hubspot.com/c/hubspot-ideas/59
Best regards
