Create and associate companies with contacts. Don't Create if I have already and associated company?
Hi everyone,
I have enabled the "Create and Associate Companies with Contacts" setting, which has been really helpful for managing associations.
However, I've noticed an issue: when I create a contact—for example, example@dom-ain.com—and associate it with a company named "Domain," HubSpot automatically creates another company called "dom-ain."
If the contact's email domain doesn't exactly match the company name (which happens in some businesses), HubSpot still creates a new company based on the email domain, even if the contact is already associated with a primary company.
How can I prevent this from happening? Currently, I have to keep merging the duplicate companies manually, but I shouldn't have to do this if the contact already has an associated company.
There's an option to stop the automation on the "Create" side and keep the Associations? Or there is a way to prevent company creation based on email domains if the contact is already associated with an existing company?
HubSpot’s "Create and Associate Companies with Contacts" feature automatically creates companies based on email domains, even if a contact is already associated with a company.
To prevent this, you can disable the automation entirely or use workflows to ensure contact is checked for existing associations before creating or associating a new company.

If I disable the automation entirely, I will lose associations and that is helpful.
A workflow will work? It will not work against Hubspot automation? There is no rule in workflow to "Dont create Company if"... what do you have in mind?
