Import companies with same domain name

[OAlkadri]

I am trying to  Import multiple companies with different set of data but with the same domain name, i have contacted the support and they gave me this article 
https://community.hubspot.com/t5/Tips-Tricks-Best-Practices/How-to-Import-A-New-Company-in-Hubspot-t...
However when i try to import and map the data using record Id, hubspot is not allowing me to map using only record id, the company domain name is selected by default and I can't deselect that, how can i deselect that option to map the data using only recordId

Hi,
Facing the same issue. Imported the company list without the domain name and now I'm wondering, how I can get the domain name field filled via import without messing my database up given the fact that some of the companies share the same domain same. 
Is ther any way that doesn't require the API and according code savvines?

The solution that i found is to do the import first from hubspot interface without the domain names, then export all data to a local database table add the domain names, extract as csv and then use the import api call (reference here https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/imports)

Hi, @OAlkadri ,

I'd say, remove the Domain name from the import file and keep the record ID column. This way, Hubspot won't have anything to say about the domains, as they won't be there in the first place 😉

I hope that helps,

Hey, @elizheleva

The idea is that i need the company domain name to enable the insights, however i fixed this using import api call not through hubspot interface as I didn't find a way to select the record id only to be the mapping key

Hi, @OAlkadri ,

That makes sense. I'm glad you've sorted it out and thank you for sharing your workaround! 🙂

Have a great rest of the week,

Hi, the link above is no longer valid and we need to upload a company list with multiple domain names xcompany/location and it's giving an ‘invalid domain name’ error

Hi, @BRecovery ,

the link works, however, the system has added the bracket into the URL hence you're getting an error. Here's the link again https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/crm/imports

I hope that helps,
