To add SEATEXT JavaScript to HubSpot footer HTML, open your HubSpot account, select the page you want to add SEATEXT AI to, and click Edit. In the page editor, go to Settings > General > Advanced, paste the SEATEXT snippet into the Footer HTML field, and click the orange Publish button at the very top right.

You need a SEATEXT AI account before you can do this, because the snippet is generated inside SEATEXT and each account is linked to a single primary URL. After publishing, the AI does not change your site until you activate it.

What you need before you start

  • A SEATEXT AI account. If you don't have one, create one first. The account is what gives you the JavaScript snippet.
  • HubSpot edit access to the page. You need to open the page's editor and find Settings > General > Advanced.
  • The SEATEXT JavaScript snippet. Copy it from your SEATEXT account. It will look like a short block of JavaScript.
  • A real, valid domain. Development URLs such as localhost are restricted, and dynamic development domains may not work reliably.

Step-by-step: Add SEATEXT JavaScript to HubSpot Footer HTML

  1. Log in to HubSpot and select the page you want to add SEATEXT AI to.
  2. Click Edit on that page.
  3. In the page editor, go to Settings > General.
  4. Go to Advanced. You should see a field titled Footer HTML.
  5. Copy the JavaScript snippet from your SEATEXT account.
  6. Paste the snippet into the Footer HTML field.
  7. Publish your changes by clicking the orange button at the very top right.
  8. Visit or refresh your website several times and stay on the page for at least 40 seconds. This activates the AI and links it to your account.
  9. Wait at least five minutes, then check your SEATEXT dashboard for your website name next to the SEATEXT logo.
  10. If the website name does not appear after 10 minutes, contact SEATEXT support. This could indicate an installation issue.

What happens after publishing: activation and account linking

Pasting the snippet is not the final step. The installation process is secure, and the AI remains inert until you activate it. That means your content is not changed while you are still setting things up.

The 40-second visit or refresh matters because it links website traffic to your SEATEXT account. Without that step, SEATEXT may not associate your account with the site.

Next, wait for your website name to appear at the top of the SEATEXT page next to the SEATEXT logo. When it appears, your website is connected and ready for the next step.

Once connected, go to the Main AI Hub to activate the AI you need on your preferred pages. Click Configuration to adjust AI parameters. If you want to review or edit the first round of automatic translations and variants, go to Variants Edit in the left panel, select the URL and language, and edit as needed.

Multiple domains, multiple websites, and development URLs

  • Each SEATEXT account is linked to a single primary URL.
  • If you need SEATEXT on multiple domains, create separate accounts for each domain.
  • If you use SEATEXT on several websites, create one account for each website.
  • Development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons.
  • Dynamic development domains may not function properly because SEATEXT might be unable to reliably associate traffic with your account.
  • Use a valid, real domain in the cases where SEATEXT needs to connect to your site.

How to verify the integration worked

  1. Open your published page and confirm the SEATEXT snippet is present in the page source or browser network panel.
  2. Visit or refresh the page several times and stay for at least 40 seconds.
  3. Wait about five minutes, then check the top of the SEATEXT page for your website name next to the SEATEXT logo.
  4. If the name is not there after 10 minutes, contact SEATEXT support.
  5. Go to the Main AI Hub and activate the AI on the pages you want. If the site was not connected, activation will not work correctly.

Common mistakes that break the installation

  • Skipping the SEATEXT account. You need an account before you can get the JavaScript snippet.
  • Pasting the snippet into the wrong field. SEATEXT's HubSpot steps use the Footer HTML field under Advanced settings.
  • Forgetting to publish. The snippet won't load until you click the orange Publish button in the top right.
  • Using localhost. Development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons.
  • Using one account for multiple domains. Each account is tied to one primary URL, so separate websites need separate accounts.
  • Expecting immediate activation. The AI is inert until activated, and your website name may take about five minutes to appear.

Limitations and when these steps do not apply

These steps apply when the HubSpot page editor exposes the Footer HTML field under Settings > General > Advanced. That is the path SEATEXT's integration uses. If your HubSpot setup does not show that field, or if you are working with a coded template, a different approach such as HubSpot's Design Manager may be required.

The account-to-domain rule also applies. If your HubSpot portal hosts multiple domains, don't try to use one SEATEXT account for all of them. Create one account per primary URL.

If you are testing in a development environment, this guide won't work as expected. localhost is restricted, and dynamic development domains may not associate traffic correctly. Use a valid, real domain for testing.

Terminology quick guide

  • Footer HTML — the HubSpot field where you paste the SEATEXT JavaScript snippet.
  • JavaScript snippet — the block of code SEATEXT gives you to copy into HubSpot.
  • Primary URL — the main domain connected to one SEATEXT account.
  • Main AI Hub — the SEATEXT area where you activate AI on your pages.
  • Configuration — the SEATEXT settings used to adjust AI parameters.
  • Variants Edit — the left-panel area where you review or manually edit automatic translations and variants.

FAQ

Do I need a SEATEXT account before installing the script?

Yes. Before you can install the script, you need a SEATEXT AI account. The JavaScript snippet comes from SEATEXT, and the account links the script to your domain.

Where is Footer HTML in HubSpot?

Open the page editor, go to Settings > General, then Advanced. You should see a field titled Footer HTML.

Will SEATEXT change my website as soon as I paste the script?

No. The AI remains inert until activated. The installation is secure and does not alter your content before activation.

Can I use one SEATEXT account for multiple HubSpot domains?

No. Each SEATEXT account is linked to a single primary URL. For multiple domains, create separate accounts.

Can I test on localhost?

No. Development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons. Use a valid, real domain.

How long does it take for SEATEXT to recognize my website?

After you visit or refresh the site for at least 40 seconds, wait at least five minutes. If the website name does not appear at the top of the SEATEXT page after 10 minutes, contact support.

What should I do after the site appears in SEATEXT?

Go to the Main AI Hub, activate the AI on the pages you want, then use Configuration to adjust the AI parameters.

How SEATEXT can help

SEATEXT's HubSpot integration is built around a copy-and-paste JavaScript snippet that goes into HubSpot's Footer HTML field. The AI stays inactive until you activate it, so your content is not changed during installation. Each SEATEXT account is linked to one primary URL, so you need separate accounts for separate websites and a real domain instead of localhost. After the script is in place, SEATEXT's Main AI Hub is where you activate agents and configure how they run on your pages.
