How to Update the SeaText Snippet in Thinkific After the Initial Save

To update the SeaText snippet in Thinkific, replace the old JavaScript in the Site Footer Code field with the new snippet and click Save. The update uses the same settings area as the first install: Admin Dashboard > Settings > Code & Analytics.

After saving, refresh your live site and complete the short activation visit so the new code can link to your SeaText account. Then wait a few minutes and check the SeaText integration page for your website name.

What changes when you update the snippet

A SeaText snippet is a piece of JavaScript. Thinkific's Site Footer Code field loads that JavaScript on your site. When SeaText gives you an updated snippet, the code in Thinkific is the copy that actually runs.

If you leave the old snippet in place, your Thinkific pages keep loading the old version. New code from SeaText does not appear on your site until you replace it. That is why the update step matters even when the site looks unchanged.

Updating is not the same as activating an agent or editing copy. Those actions happen inside your SeaText account after the snippet is live.

Before you update: what you need

• Admin access to Thinkific. You need permission to open Settings and save code changes.
• The latest snippet from SeaText. Copy it from SeaText's Thinkific integration page, not from an old email or saved file.
• A backup of the current code. If you want to roll back, copy the old snippet into a text file before you replace it.
• A published site. The footer code field applies to your live Thinkific pages.

If the Code & Analytics tab is not available in your Thinkific account, check Thinkific's documentation for your plan before starting.

How to update the SeaText snippet in Thinkific

1. Copy the new JavaScript code from the SeaText Thinkific integration page. Select the full snippet and do not leave out any characters.
2. Open your Thinkific Admin Dashboard. Choose Settings from the menu.
3. Open the Code & Analytics tab.
4. Find the Site Footer Code field. This is the same field you used during the initial installation.
5. Replace the old SeaText code. Select everything in the field, delete it, and paste the new snippet. Do not add the new code underneath the old copy.
6. Click Save. Thinkific stores the updated code and applies it to your site.

How to verify the update worked

1. Refresh your live website. If the page was already open, reload it or use a private browser window.
2. Relink the site if needed. On the SeaText Thinkific integration page, use the website address form to add your domain in the format www.example.com.
3. Visit your site once and stay for at least 40 seconds. SeaText uses this visit to activate the AI and link it to your account.
4. Wait at least five minutes. The integration page should show your website name next to the SEATEXT logo.
5. Check again at 10 minutes. If the website name still does not appear, contact SeaText support. This can indicate an installation issue.

To confirm the code is loading, right-click your page and choose View Page Source. Search for SEATEXT. If the search finds it, the footer code is on the page.

Common mistakes when replacing the snippet

• Pasting instead of replacing. If old and new code both sit in the field, the browser may load two copies. Replace the whole field.
• Saving in the wrong tab. Thinkific has several settings screens. Save the Code & Analytics tab after you paste the code.
• Skipping the 40-second visit. The activation visit is part of the linking process. Saving the code alone does not replace it.
• Checking too soon. SeaText asks you to wait at least five minutes, and to contact support if nothing appears after 10 minutes.
• Checking a cached page. Your browser may be showing an old copy of the page. Use a private window or clear the cache.

Key facts at a glance

Limitations and when this guide does not apply

This guide covers the JavaScript snippet that connects Thinkific to SeaText. It does not cover everything that happens after the code is live.

• SeaText account settings. Agents, configurations, and account-level options are managed in SeaText, not in Thinkific.
• Copy and variant edits. To change translations or variants, log in to SeaText and use Variants Edit, not the Thinkific code field.
• Other website platforms. The update path is different if your site runs on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, or another platform.
• Thinkific theme updates. If you are updating a custom theme or template, follow Thinkific's own theme update process.

If you cannot find the Site Footer Code field, check Thinkific's documentation for your plan before trying to paste the code.

Useful terms

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to delete the old snippet before pasting the new one?

Yes. Replace the field content. If you paste the new code below the old code, Thinkific may load duplicate JavaScript.

Does updating the snippet reset my SeaText settings?

No. Settings, activated agents, and variants live in your SeaText account, not inside the snippet. Replacing the code should not reset them. If SeaText tells you to reconnect your site, follow that instruction.

How long should I wait after saving?

SeaText says to wait at least five minutes for the website name to appear. If it has not appeared after 10 minutes, contact SeaText support.

What if my website name does not appear after the update?

Refresh the page, clear the cache, repeat the 40-second activation visit, and wait 10 minutes. If the website name still does not appear, contact SeaText support.

Do I need the activation visit every time I update?

Use the 40-second visit whenever SeaText asks you to relink, and use it as a confirmation check after any code change. It confirms that the saved snippet can connect to your account.

Where can I check current plan details?

SeaText's homepage includes a pricing link. Review it there to see which agents fit your site before you activate them.
