I usually want Lightroom to apply profile corrections automatically, rather than enabling them manually for every batch. Is there a way to make this happen on import, either as a default or with an import preset?

Configure a photo with the adjustments you want and then go to Develop, Set Default Settings. You can actually specify per camera or even per ISO settings if you want by altering the settings under Edit, Preferences, Presets.

Yes. In Lightroom, you can automate this in two common ways:
-
Set default develop settings Configure a photo the way you want, then use Develop > Set Default Settings. Lightroom can use those defaults for your camera, and preferences also allow more specific defaults such as per-camera or even per-ISO behavior.
-
Create a develop preset and apply it on import Make a user preset that includes Enable Profile Corrections (and any other adjustments you normally want), then choose that preset in the Import dialog so it’s applied automatically to all incoming images.
The preset method is often more flexible because you can turn it on or off per import, or keep multiple presets for different situations. Some photographers also keep a “zero” preset to quickly reset images to their preferred baseline.
