# Url
Collect a web address and have the app check the format before the form submits.
The **URL** field collects a website address and checks its format before the form is submitted. Use it to collect website links, social media profiles, or reference URLs.
## 🔧 How to Set It
In the form editor, click **Add element** > select **URL**.
The field will be added to your form, and its settings will open on the left.
{% hint style="info" %}
See [Add and arrange elements](/globosoftware-docs/build-your-form/add-and-arrange-elements.md) for the other ways to add a field and how to reorder them.
{% endhint %}
### ✅ URL Validation
The URL field checks whether the entered website address follows a valid format.
**Important:** URLs must include `https://` at the beginning.
* ✅ Valid: `https://example.com`
* ❌ Invalid: `www.example.com`
If the URL is invalid, customers must correct it before submitting the form.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** Set a placeholder such as `https://example.com` to show customers the expected format.
{% endhint %}
## 🔄 How It Works
* **Valid URL:** The form can be submitted if all other required fields and validations pass.
* **Invalid URL:** The field displays an error and asks the customer to correct the address.
* **Submitted value:** The URL is saved as entered and appears in submissions, notification emails, exports, and connected integrations.

* [Repeater](/globosoftware-docs/field-types/input-fields/repeater.md) — collect a variable number of links.
* [Edit error messages](/globosoftware-docs/build-your-form/error-messages.md) — reword the invalid url message.
