What happens if creating a Company with same domain

[AJacob2]

Basic question here: If I create a new company using the API which contains the same domain as a company that already exists, what is the expected behaviour?

Use case is that we may want it to occur due to companies with shared domains being common, we are creating workflows to flag these but not sure if the duplicate would be created or merged into the existing.

Hey @AJacob2 ,

In this case it would create the company record as long as you're using a create function vs update.  HubSpot dedupes on Company Domain Name via imports, but you're freely able to create additional companies with the same domain (and it's pretty common for larger orgs).

That was my hope, thanks for the confirming!
