Custom property of type URL

We need a custom property of type URL for links to diffrent content. For example.

If I have specific content on my website for a white paper or a market study I would want quick access to that content from my Deal or Company record. also if we are woking off client specs that are held in a VDR (box, sharepoint, sharefiles, dropbox, googledrive) that the customer has profided I want to keep that link at my fingertips when I create the proposal.

Upvoting this.  We use the URL to link into our Sharepoint folders for speedy location and access 🙂

Meantime, we'll use the workaround, it's extra clicks but better than nothing!

Big upvote for this - we want to have clickable URLs properties in Products that take our sales teams to some in-depth documentation on the products and services they are selling, I think our users are quite amazed this isn't possible.

I don’t get how the product team at HubSpot operates, but it feels like a lot of features that weren’t implemented early on in the CRM have been deliberately put on hold. Cmd+Click for selecting multiple contacts doesn’t work, there are no colored labels, no links, and the Esc key doesn’t work. Why are they experimenting with users like this?))

We need to be able to create a new property to capture links through to the same contact profile for other platforms, namely Posthog, so that CSMs can quickly and easily find and review what interactions with our platform a user has had.

Adding support for this idea. Our use case: capturing a link to any strategic plan a company has published publicly.

So easy to develop...come on Hubspot. You already have it as a native property. Not hard to role this out.

Agree this would be extremely useful when linking to externally published media sources or approved assets housed in a file storage system

Yes! This would simplify so much for our team!

URLs are clickable in single-line text fields in the record details, but, unfortunately, not in views. This would be a game changer for some of our usecases!

I agree, I would love to see it clickable in Views, but also in Reports as well.

Gahh come on Hubspot! Other CRMs have URL fields. I need this property for email automation.

While I would very much like to have this field type, single-line text fields with URL values work perfectly fine for email automation. You can insert personalization tokens as URL for a link. Only need to ensure manually that there’s always a valid URL in the property.

I need this. We would like to link to demo decks and other resources within a deal record. User experience **bleep** not having a clickable link field type.

Hi everyone! My name is Hallie, and I'm an Associate Program Manager on our CXM team here at HubSpot. I'm excited to share that the ability to have a URL property field type is currently in planning! Any future details around this being released will be shared right on this post, so keep your eyes open for those updates. 😊
