How to Verify SeaText Installation on Your Thinkific Site

Verify SeaText is working by checking your SeaText dashboard for your site name next to the logo after waiting 5 minutes, or use browser dev tools to confirm the SeaText script loads and fires...

To verify SeaText on Thinkific, check the SeaText dashboard for your domain after a 40‑second visit or confirm the SEATEXTURLPUSH event fires in the Site Footer Code.

Quick verification checklist

After pasting the SeaText JavaScript into Thinkific's Site Footer Code field and saving, do two things: visit your live site and stay on the page for at least 40 seconds, then wait five minutes and open your SeaText dashboard. Your domain should appear next to the SeaText logo at the top of the page. If it's not there after ten minutes, the script didn't load or Thinkific stripped it out.

The checklist ensures the script loads, the handshake fires, and the dashboard reflects the link. Follow each item in order for reliable results.

Prerequisites before you verify

  • You have copied the exact JavaScript snippet from your SeaText account (the code block labeled SEATEXTCODEINTEGRATION).
  • You have admin access to the Thinkific dashboard (Settings → Code & Analytics).
  • Your Thinkific site is published and publicly reachable (not password-protected or in maintenance mode).
  • You're using a browser that allows third-party scripts (no aggressive ad-blockers or script blockers on your test visit).

Step-by-step verification using the SeaText dashboard

  1. Log in to Thinkific, go to Settings → Code & Analytics, paste the SeaText snippet into the Site Footer Code field, and click Save.
  2. Open your live Thinkific site in a new browser tab. Stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. This visit triggers the initial handshake between your site and SeaText.
  3. Wait five minutes, then log in to your SeaText account. Look at the top of the dashboard next to the SeaText logo. Your website name (e.g., www.yoursite.com) should appear there.
  4. The appearance of your domain confirms the SEATEXTURLPUSH event was received and the installation is linked.
  5. If the name appears, the installation is linked. Proceed to the Main AI Hub to activate agents on the pages you want optimized.
  6. If the name does not appear after ten minutes, the script failed to load. Move to the dev-tools check below.

Verify with browser developer tools (network tab)

This method confirms the script actually loads on the page, independent of the SeaText dashboard.

  1. Open your Thinkific site in Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.
  2. Open Developer Tools (F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I / Cmd+Option+I).
  3. Click the Network tab, check JS filter, and reload the page.
  4. Search the request list for seatext or the script URL you pasted. You should see a 200 OK response for the SeaText JavaScript file.
  5. Click that request and inspect the Response tab — it should contain SeaText initialization code, not an HTML error page.
  6. Switch to the Console tab. Look for a log line like SeaText initialized or SEATEXTURLPUSH. Errors here (404, CSP blocked, syntax error) explain why the dashboard stays empty.

Common reasons verification fails on Thinkific

  • Script pasted in the wrong field. Thinkific has separate Header and Footer code fields. SeaText must go in Site Footer Code.
  • Thinkific's content security policy (CSP) blocks the script. Some plans restrict external scripts. Check the Console for Refused to load the script messages.
  • Extra whitespace or line breaks broke the snippet. Paste as a single block, no extra characters.
  • Site not published. Password-protected or draft sites won't trigger the handshake.
  • Ad-blocker or privacy extension on your test browser blocked the request. Test in an incognito window.

If the console shows a SEATEXTURLPUSH log but the dashboard remains empty, clear your browser cache and repeat the visit. Thinkific may cache the footer code, delaying the handshake.

What to do after successful verification

Once your domain shows next to the SeaText logo, go to the Main AI Hub in your SeaText dashboard. Click Configuration to choose which AI agents run on which pages (CRO Optimizer, Translation, Google Ads Agent, etc.). You can also open Variants Edit to review or manually adjust the automatic translations and copy variants SeaText generates for each language and URL.

After linking, you can test individual agents by navigating to a page where the agent should act and observing the changes in real time.

Limitations of this verification process

  • Only confirms the script loads and the initial handshake completes. It does not guarantee every AI agent is functioning correctly on every page.
  • Thinkific's platform updates or CSP changes can break the script without warning; re‑verify after major Thinkific releases.
  • The 40‑second visit requirement means staged or preview URLs won't work — you must use the live, public URL.
  • If you manage multiple Thinkific sites, each needs its own snippet and separate verification.

Terminology

  • SEATEXTCODEINTEGRATION — the unique JavaScript snippet SeaText generates for your account.
  • SEATEXTURLPUSH — the internal event SeaText fires when it detects a new site visit and registers the domain.
  • Main AI Hub — the SeaText dashboard section where you enable/disable individual AI agents per page.
  • Variants Edit — the interface for reviewing or overriding SeaText's automatic translations and copy variants.

FAQ

How long should I wait before assuming installation failed?

Wait ten minutes after your 40‑second site visit. If the domain still hasn't appeared next to the SeaText logo, the script didn't load or the handshake didn't complete.

Can I verify installation without visiting the live site?

No. The 40‑second live visit is required to trigger the SEATEXTURLPUSH event that links the domain to your account.

What if Thinkific's Code & Analytics tab is missing?

That tab exists on all paid Thinkific plans. If you're on a legacy free plan, you may need to upgrade or contact Thinkific support to enable custom code injection.

Does the script need to be in the header instead of the footer?

SeaText's documentation specifies the Site Footer Code field. Header placement may work but isn't the supported method.

Can I use Google Tag Manager instead of pasting directly?

Yes, but that adds a layer. If you use GTM, verify the SeaText tag fires in GTM's preview mode and still check the SeaText dashboard for the domain link.

What should I send support if verification fails?

Share your Thinkific site URL, a screenshot of the pasted snippet in the Footer Code field, and a HAR file or screenshot of the Network/Console tabs showing the script request and any errors.

Will SeaText work on Thinkific course player pages?

The footer code loads on all Thinkific pages including course player, but some agents (e.g., Google Ads Landing Page Agent) only act on landing pages with UTM parameters. Check each agent's scope in Configuration.
