How to Configure SeaText After Adding It to Squarespace

What You Need Before Configuring SeaText

Before you can configure SeaText, you need two things: a SeaText AI account and the JavaScript code snippet from that account. Each SeaText account is linked to a single primary URL. If you want to use SeaText on multiple domains, you must create a separate account for each domain.

You also need to have pasted the code into Squarespace. Here is the quick path: go to your Squarespace dashboard, click the three dots icon, select Settings, scroll to Developer Tools at the very end of the page, click Code Injection, paste the SeaText JavaScript into the HEADER area, and click Save. Then publish your website.

Step 1: Activate the Connection

After you save and publish, visit your website several times. Stay on the page for at least 40 seconds each visit. This activates the AI and links it to your account.

Then wait at least five minutes. Check the top of the SeaText dashboard. You should see your website name displayed next to the SEATEXT logo. That means your website is connected and ready for configuration.

If you do not see your website name after 10 minutes, contact SeaText support. This could indicate an installation issue on your platform.

Step 2: Open the Main AI Hub

Log in to your SeaText dashboard. Go to the Main AI Hub. This is where you activate the AI agents you want on your pages.

You do not have to activate everything at once. Start with the agents that match your immediate goals. For example, if you want to improve conversions, activate the Conversion Agent. If you want to reach international customers, activate the Translation Agent.

Step 3: Click Configuration to Adjust AI Parameters

In the Main AI Hub, click on Configuration. This opens the settings panel where you control how SeaText behaves on your site.

Here you can set targeted messages. You can choose which pages display the AI chat widget. You can also set display rules by device, such as showing the widget only on desktop or only on mobile.

Configuration is where you adjust the AI's tone, language, and trigger rules. For example, you might set the AI to appear after a visitor scrolls halfway down a product page, or only when they click a specific button.

Step 4: Customize the Chat Widget's Appearance

SeaText includes a free AI website chat agent. You can customize its look and feel to match your brand. Change the widget color, position, and greeting message.

You can also set the language for the chat. SeaText supports translation across 125 languages, so you can serve visitors from different regions without manual localization work.

Keep the widget consistent with your site's design. A chat widget that looks out of place can reduce trust. Match your brand colors and use a friendly, clear greeting.

Step 5: Set Display Rules by Page or Device

Not every page needs the same AI behavior. Use display rules to control where SeaText appears.

For example, you might want the AI chat on your pricing page but not on your blog. You might want the AI to appear on mobile but not on desktop, or the reverse. You can also set rules based on visitor behavior, such as time on page or scroll depth.

These rules help you avoid overwhelming visitors with AI on every page. They also let you focus AI attention on the pages that matter most for conversion.

Step 6: Review Automatic Translations and Variants

SeaText provides an initial round of automatic translations and copy variants for testing. Log in to your SeaText account to review these.

You can edit them manually or let the AI continue to optimize. The AI continuously tests headlines, offers, and CTAs to give every visitor a personalized reason to convert.

Check the variants regularly. You may find that some perform better than others. The AI will scale the winners automatically.

Step 7: Verify the Configuration Works

After you finish configuring, test your website. Visit the pages where you activated SeaText. Check that the chat widget appears correctly and that the AI responds as expected.

Refresh your website several times and stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. This helps the AI link to your account and ensures the configuration is active.

If something does not work, go back to the Configuration panel and check your settings. If the problem persists, contact SeaText support.

Key Facts About SeaText Configuration

Common Configuration Mistakes

One common mistake is skipping the activation step. You paste the code, save, and publish, but you do not visit your website for 40 seconds. The AI never links to your account, so nothing appears in the dashboard.

Another mistake is using a development domain like localhost. SeaText restricts development URLs for security reasons. Use a valid, real domain instead.

A third mistake is trying to use one account on multiple websites. Each website needs its own account. If you try to reuse an account, the AI may not associate traffic correctly.

Limitations and When This Advice Does Not Apply

This configuration guide applies to SeaText on Squarespace. If you use a different platform, the installation steps differ, but the configuration steps in the SeaText dashboard are similar.

Dynamic development domains may not function properly. SeaText might be unable to reliably associate traffic with your account. Use a stable, real domain for testing.

If you need SeaText on multiple domains, you must create separate accounts. There is no way to link one account to multiple primary URLs.
