The Website/URL field is used for entering a single website or URL. It only passes validation if the value entered is in a valid URL format. To add one to a form, open the form in the form builder and click Website/URL in the Add Fields tab.

Standard field options

In the form builder, select the field to see its options in the Field Options tab. Most of them are in the Advanced section, so click Advanced to show them.

With Advanced open, the panel shows the options below. Validation Messages and Conditional Logic are separate sections under it. Click either heading to expand it.

A Website/URL field has the following options:

• Field type
• Required
• Field key
• CSS layout classes
• Label position
• Field size

• Unique
• Read Only
• Visibility
• Before & After Input
• Conditional logic
• Lookup value

Field-specific options

Max characters

The Max Characters box in the field's Advanced options limits how many characters can be entered in the field. Typing stops at the limit. The box is empty by default, so the field has no limit.

Show URL image

To show the image a URL points to on the entries listing page, check If this URL points to an image, show the image on the entries listing page in the field's Advanced options. This box is unchecked by default.

Allow international domain names

By default, the domain in a Website/URL field may only use unaccented Latin letters, numbers, dots, and hyphens. If visitors may enter web addresses in their own language, turn on this option to accept accented or non-Latin characters too, such as https://müller.de.

To turn it on, open the field's Advanced options and check Allow international domain names with accented or non-Latin characters. The option is off by default.

Invalid format message

When the value entered isn't in the right format, the field shows its Invalid Format message. Email, Website/URL, Phone, and Number fields start with a message that tells the user what to enter:

• Email: "Enter a valid email address, like name@example.com"
• Website/URL: "Enter a valid web address, like https://example.com"
• Phone: "Enter a valid phone number"
• Number: "Enter a number"

To change it, open the field's Validation Messages section and edit Invalid Format.

Default values and field icons

Under Advanced, use the Default Value box to prefill the field, or the Placeholder Text box to show hint text inside it. A default value is submitted with the form unless the user changes it. Placeholder text disappears when the user starts typing and is not submitted. Learn how to set a default value and how to set a placeholder in a text field.

On the form builder page, drag a field by its move icon to change its position. To duplicate or delete a field, click its More Options (⋮) icon. See field action icons for more information.
