Strip https:// prefix when pasting websites into Company domain Name property

For new gmail contacts, we often will find their website ourselves. Copying and pasting the Company domain name for the related company record doesn’t work because Chrome always includes the https:// prefix even if you carefully just select the domain name in the address bar.

For example, the URL in the address bar would be displayed as example.com/welcome.html. We carefully select just example.com then press Ctrl+C to copy it. Chrome will convert it to https://example.com. So we can’t just paste that into the HubSpot Company domain name. Furthermore, it’s not even visible because the entry box is narrow. You have to move your cursor all the way to the left to remove the https:// prefix.

Please strip the https:// when validating a domain name for Company records. Thanks!!!

Agreed. Also remove any trailing parts of a URL to become a valid domain (e.g. https://somewebsite.com/en becomes somewebsite.com (a valid domain)).
Hubspot already validates the domain and complains about the characters that don’t belong, so it should be simple to remove them as a first pass and let the user make any further adjustments if needed.
