SeaText does not place a configuration menu inside Odoo. If you are looking for a new menu item labeled “SeaText” in Odoo’s dashboard or Settings app, you won’t find one. Instead, SeaText is configured from your SEATEXT AI account, and you connect it to Odoo by embedding a JavaScript snippet into a page built with Odoo’s Website module.
The practical answer: the “configuration menu” is your SEATEXT AI dashboard, and the installation point is Odoo’s Website module. Specifically, you use the Embed Code block under Dynamic Content in the Odoo page editor.
What People Usually Mean by “SeaText Configuration Menu”
In Odoo, many modules add a “Configuration” menu under Settings. A user familiar with that pattern might expect SeaText to appear there. It does not, because SeaText is not an Odoo module in the traditional sense.
SeaText is an external AI service. You create an account, copy a JavaScript snippet, and paste that snippet into your Odoo page. The snippet loads SeaText’s agents on your website. All the actual configuration — which agents run, how they behave, what gets translated, what gets rewritten — happens inside your SEATEXT AI account.
Where to Actually Install SeaText in Odoo
SeaText’s Odoo integration uses the built-in Website module. Follow these steps:
- Log in to your Odoo account and access the Website module from the dashboard.
- Navigate to the page you want to edit and click the Edit button to open the editing panel.
- In the editing panel, scroll through the Blocks panel until you reach Dynamic Content.
- Locate the Embed Code module and drag it into the desired location on your page.
- Click the Edit button in the right panel to input the code.
- In the pop-up window, paste the JavaScript snippet provided by SEATEXT AI, then click Save.
- To keep the block from appearing on desktop, select Hide on Desktop in the Visibility section, then click Save again.
That is the whole process. There is no separate configuration menu to open inside Odoo.
Why There Is No Configuration Menu in Odoo’s Settings
Odoo’s settings menus are designed for Odoo modules that store data in Odoo’s database. SeaText works differently.
SeaText gives you a snippet of JavaScript. That snippet communicates with SeaText’s servers. When someone visits your Odoo page, the browser loads the snippet and SeaText can then run its AI agents. This is why:
- No Odoo database tables are needed.
- No new Odoo menu item appears.
- No Odoo “Settings” page is modified.
- You control behavior from your SeaText account, not from Odoo.
If you spend time looking for a menu inside Odoo, you will miss the actual integration point. The integration point is the page editor’s Dynamic Content section.
What You Configure in Your SEATEXT AI Account Instead
Before you can install the script, you need a SEATEXT AI account. The account is where you manage everything SeaText does for your website.
From that account you can copy the JavaScript code. SeaText’s integration page explains: “Copy the Javascript code from SEATEXT AI which appear in this section below.” That code is unique to your account and your domain.
The account link matters. Each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL. If you need to use SeaText on multiple domains — for example, a development domain and a production domain — you must create separate accounts for each domain.
This also means the “configuration menu” follows the account, not the Odoo instance. You configure SeaText once per domain, and then the snippet delivers that configuration to your Odoo page.
Key Facts at a Glance
| Key fact | What it means for your Odoo setup |
|---|---|
| Installation area | Odoo Website module, page editor, Dynamic Content section, Embed Code block. |
| Account requirement | You need a SEATEXT AI account before you can install the script. |
| Account-domain link | Each SEATEXT AI account is linked to a single primary URL. |
| Development URL restriction | Localhost and similar development URLs are restricted for security reasons. |
| Multiple domains | Use a separate SeaText account for each domain or website. |
| Desktop visibility | Use “Hide on Desktop” in the Visibility section to keep the block invisible on desktop devices. |
Common Mistakes and Limitations
The most common mistake is looking for a SeaText menu in Odoo instead of looking for the Embed Code block. If you cannot find the menu, you are looking in the wrong place.
Another common mistake is using the same account for two domains. Because each account is tied to one primary URL, one account will not reliably work on another domain. Create a separate account for each website.
Development URLs are another limit. If you try to test on localhost, SeaText may not function. The source documentation explicitly says development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons. Use a valid, real domain.
Dynamic development domains may also fail. SeaText may not be able to associate traffic with your account when the domain changes frequently. Stick to a stable, real domain.
Finally, remember that the visible embed block can interfere with your design. Odoo’s editor gives you a “Hide on Desktop” option so you can place the snippet without changing what visitors see on desktop. Use that option after pasting the code.
What to Do After You Paste the Code
After you save the Embed Code block, visit your website or refresh the page. This loads the snippet and lets you confirm that SeaText is active.
If you are using multiple domains, check that you have the correct snippet from the correct SeaText account on each domain. The snippet and the domain need to match.
Because the AI remains inert until activated, the installation does not change your content by itself. You have time to review your SeaText account settings and choose which agents to enable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does SeaText appear in Odoo’s Settings menu?
No. SeaText does not create a Settings menu item inside Odoo. You connect SeaText by pasting a JavaScript snippet into an Embed Code block in Odoo’s Website module.
Where do I get the SeaText JavaScript code?
From your SEATEXT AI account. The Odoo Integration page includes the code snippet and shows you exactly where to paste it in Odoo.
Can I use localhost while testing SeaText on Odoo?
No. Development URLs such as localhost are restricted for security reasons. Use a valid, real domain.
Can I use one SeaText account on two Odoo websites?
No. Each SeaText account is linked to a single primary URL. For multiple websites or domains, create one account per website.
Do I need to keep the Embed Code block visible on desktop?
No. In the block’s Visibility settings, choose “Hide on Desktop” so the block does not change what desktop visitors see.
What happens after I paste the snippet into Odoo?
Save the page, then visit or refresh your website so the script can load. After that, manage SeaText’s features from your SeaText account.
Final Takeaway
SeaText’s Odoo configuration is not a menu. It is a two-part setup: your SeaText account holds the settings, and Odoo’s Website module holds the embed code.
When someone asks “Where is the SeaText configuration menu in Odoo?”, the correct answer is: open the Website module, edit your page, and use the Embed Code block under Dynamic Content. Then configure everything else in your SEATEXT AI account.

How SeaText can help
SeaText’s Odoo integration is built around the Embed Code block, not a native Odoo menu. Create a SEATEXT AI account, copy the JavaScript snippet from the integration page, paste it into Odoo’s Website editor, and save. The AI stays inert until you activate it, so your content remains unchanged during setup.
One important requirement: each SeaText account is linked to a single primary URL. If you run multiple domains or websites, you need a separate account for each one. Development URLs like localhost are restricted, so use a valid, real domain.
