# Website question reference

You can collect a visitor's website, check its URL format, and save the address to your email platform or CRM.

Available on the Grow, Scale, and Pro plans.

A **Website** question collects a web address and checks its URL format. You can save it to a contact's record for follow-up.

## When to use it

Use this question when knowing someone's website helps you prepare for a conversation. [WorkForge](https://workforge.rightmessage.com) could ask for a company website before a consultation.

The question checks the address format, not whether the website belongs to the visitor.

| Setting         | Default and what it does                                                    |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Placeholder** | **https\://**. Shows a hint before entry.                                   |
| **Required**    | Off. Visitors can skip. When on, requires a nonempty, valid website answer. |

There are no settings for allowing only certain domains, checking whether the site is reachable, or verifying ownership.

The live control accepts HTTP or HTTPS URLs with a dot in the hostname. A bare domain such as `workforge.rightmessage.com` becomes `https://workforge.rightmessage.com/`. An unsupported scheme or invalid format shows an error.

See [shared question settings](https://rightmessage.com/help/question-settings-reference) for wording and button labels.

## How answers are stored and synced

RightMessage saves the normalized URL as text, including its path and query string when present. An answer doesn't record a visit to that URL or change the current page.

**Save answers to** shows your connected platform's name and offers compatible native or custom fields. Answers can still appear in **Responses** without a mapping. Mapping a field doesn't identify the visitor. See [answer sync](https://rightmessage.com/help/synchronizing-contact-data-with-your-email-platform-or-crm) for identification and destination checks.

Website answers don't automatically create segments or answer branches. [Input-answer conditions](https://rightmessage.com/help/conditions-answers) can compare the saved text or its domain. Use a domain-specific condition when only the host matters, rather than requiring an exact match on the whole URL. A [linked form field](https://rightmessage.com/help/form-fields-reference) submits with its form.

The editor preview doesn't record answers or send data to your email platform. Existing edits autosave to the draft and affect every use after publication. The [Questions library reference](https://rightmessage.com/help/question-library-reference) covers creating and reusing questions.
