Bulk update user email domains in Hubspot

When your company changes its email address format or domain, you need a fast way to update team accounts in Hubspot without breaking access, permissions, or activity history. This guide explains how to bulk update user email domains, what to check before you start, and how to manage allowed domains safely.

The steps below are based on HubSpot’s official documentation and will help you handle large-scale user email changes with minimal disruption to your team.

When to bulk update user email domains in Hubspot

Use the bulk update feature when you need to replace one email domain with another across many users at once. Common scenarios include:

• Company rebranding that introduces a new primary email domain.
• Corporate mergers or acquisitions where domains are consolidated.
• Security or compliance initiatives that move users off personal domains.
• Standardizing multiple legacy domains into one official business domain.

Instead of editing each user manually, the Hubspot bulk update tool lets you switch domains in a single operation, saving time and reducing errors.

Prerequisites for changing user email domains in Hubspot

Before you bulk update user email domains, confirm the following requirements:

• You must be a Super admin in your account, or have equivalent user management permissions.
• You know the exact current email domain to be replaced (for example, @oldcompany.com).
• You know the exact new email domain to apply (for example, @newcompany.com).
• You have communicated the change to your users so they expect new login details.

Meeting these requirements helps avoid surprises and ensures the bulk update runs smoothly inside Hubspot user settings.

How the Hubspot bulk email domain update works

The bulk update feature in user management finds all users that match a specific email domain and replaces that portion of the address with a new domain. It does not change the username part before the @ symbol.

For example:

• Before: alex@oldcompany.com
• After: alex@newcompany.com

Only users whose email ends in the original domain are affected. Users with other domains remain unchanged in Hubspot.

Step-by-step: bulk update user email domains in Hubspot

Follow these steps to run a bulk update of user email domains. Navigation labels may vary slightly depending on your interface language, but the process is the same.

1. Open user management in Hubspot

1. Sign in to your Hubspot account with super admin credentials.
2. In the main navigation bar, go to Settings (gear icon).
3. In the left sidebar, select the Users & Teams section to access your user list.

This area is where you manage users, teams, and permissions across your Hubspot account.

2. Access the bulk update email option

1. In the Users tab, look for actions or options that apply to multiple users.
2. Select the option to Bulk update email domains (as documented in the official guide).

This opens a dialog or panel where you specify the domains for the update.

3. Enter the original email domain

1. In the Original domain field, type the domain you want to replace, including the @ sign, for example @oldcompany.com.
2. Make sure the domain exactly matches your users’ current email endings. The tool will search for users based on this precise text.

Only users whose existing addresses end in that exact domain will be updated in Hubspot.

4. Enter the new email domain

1. In the New domain field, type the domain that should replace the old one, such as @newcompany.com.
2. Double-check the spelling; this is the domain that will appear in all updated user logins.

Hubspot will show you how many users are expected to be affected before you confirm the change.

5. Review and confirm the bulk update

1. Check the summary of how many users will be updated.
2. Confirm that the original and new domains are correct.
3. Click the button to Update or Confirm the bulk email domain change.

Once confirmed, Hubspot updates all matching users. They will use their new addresses the next time they log in, while retaining their existing permissions and records.

Managing allowed email domains in Hubspot

In addition to bulk updates, you may want to control which domains are allowed for users in your account. This is useful when you want to restrict logins to corporate addresses only.

Why control allowed email domains in Hubspot

Defining allowed email domains helps you:

• Ensure only corporate addresses (not personal ones) are used for user accounts.
• Maintain consistent branding and security policies across teams.
• Simplify future domain management tasks such as additional migrations.

Combining domain restrictions with the bulk update tool keeps your Hubspot instance aligned with your company’s IT policies.

Steps to manage allowed domains

The official HubSpot documentation provides a full breakdown of how to configure allowed email domains and related controls. You can read the complete instructions here: Bulk update user email domains in HubSpot.

Use that reference alongside this guide to ensure you configure domain rules correctly after updating your users.

Best practices for large domain migrations in Hubspot

When running a large-scale domain change, preparation is essential. Use these best practices to reduce risk.

Plan communication with users

• Notify all affected users before the update.
• Explain the date and time of the change.
• Tell users what their new email addresses will be and how to log in.

Clear communication helps avoid login confusion and support tickets after the Hubspot domain update.

Test with a small user group first

• Identify a small group of internal users using the same old domain.
• Run the bulk update process on that group only, if possible.
• Verify that logins, permissions, and activity tracking behave as expected.

A pilot helps validate your process before you apply changes across the full user base in Hubspot.

Coordinate with IT and security teams

• Ensure email routing for the new domain is fully set up.
• Confirm that single sign-on (SSO) or identity providers recognize the new domain.
• Align the Hubspot change with any company-wide cutover plan.

Cross-team coordination reduces the risk of lockouts or authentication issues when user domains change.

After the Hubspot email domain update

Once the bulk update completes, spend time verifying that everything works correctly.

Verify user access and permissions

• Ask several users to log in using their new email addresses.
• Confirm they can access the same tools, records, and dashboards as before.
• Spot-check key roles such as admins, sales managers, and marketing owners.

Because the update changes the login identifier but not the underlying user, permissions should remain intact in Hubspot.

Review audit logs and security settings

• Check any available login or security logs for unusual activity.
• Update any internal documentation that references old domains.
• Update training materials that show login screenshots or step-by-step guides.

Keeping documentation current helps future admins understand how domains are managed across your Hubspot environment.
