Try RightMessage on a website before installing it

You'll be able to see your RightMessage project running on a real website without changing that website's code. It's the quickest way to try personalization on your own site before you install the snippet, and it's how you show a prospect RightMessage working on their site in a sales demo.

The trick is Tampermonkey (opens in a new tab), a free browser extension that runs a small script on the pages you choose. Your script adds RightMessage's development snippet, so only your browser sees the changes. Nobody else visiting the site does, and nothing is recorded in your analytics.

Install Tampermonkey

Add Tampermonkey from your browser's extension store, using the links on tampermonkey.net (opens in a new tab). Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari are all supported.

Chrome and Edge also ask you to allow user scripts. Open the extension's details page and turn on Allow User Scripts. Tampermonkey's FAQ (opens in a new tab) covers this if you can't find it.

Copy your development snippet

1. In RightMessage, open Settings > JavaScript Snippet under Project.
2. Choose Staging / development and copy the code.

The development snippet loads your latest draft instead of your published project and turns analytics off. The snippet reference explains the difference.

Create the script

1. Open the Tampermonkey menu in your browser toolbar and choose Create a new script.
2. Replace everything in the editor with the script below.
3. Change the @match line to the site you want to test, such as https://workforge.rightmessage.com/*. Add another @match line for each extra site, like the www. version of a domain.
4. Replace the code between the backticks with your development snippet. Paste it exactly as copied, script tags included.
5. Save with File > Save.

// ==UserScript==
// @name         RightMessage preview
// @match        https://example-prospect.com/*
// @run-at       document-start
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function () {
  const snippet = `PASTE YOUR DEVELOPMENT SNIPPET HERE`;

  const container = document.createElement('div');
  container.innerHTML = snippet;
  container.querySelectorAll('script').forEach((original) => {
    const script = document.createElement('script');
    script.textContent = original.textContent;
    (document.head || document.documentElement).appendChild(script);
  });
})();

@run-at document-start adds RightMessage as early as it would load from the page's <head>, so personalized headlines replace the originals before anyone sees them. @grant none runs the script in the page itself, where RightMessage needs to be.

Open the site

1. Sign in to RightMessage in the same browser. The development snippet only loads your draft for someone signed in to the project.
2. Visit the site. RightMessage asks you to authorize the debugger, then opens it docked at the bottom of the page with Draft selected.
3. If you're asked to approve the website host, approve it. It's how RightMessage knows you meant to test on this site.

From here it works just like testing your changes on your own site: follow each path, try segment overrides, and watch This page to see why something is or isn't showing. Every edit you save in RightMessage shows up when you reload.

Make your targeting match the site

Your page rules have to match the site you're testing. A rule that names your own domain won't match a prospect's, so for a demo, target by path (like /pricing) or build the campaign for their domain. Personalization that swaps page content also needs selectors that exist on their pages, so pick each element on the site you'll be showing.

If nothing loads

• Tampermonkey's icon shows no running script. Check that the @match line covers the exact address in your address bar, including www. and https, and that the script is turned on in Tampermonkey's dashboard.
• The script runs but RightMessage doesn't appear. Some sites have a strict Content Security Policy that blocks scripts they didn't add themselves. Your browser's developer console will show a "Content Security Policy" error. Tampermonkey can't get around it, so test on another page or site.
• You see your published project, not your draft. Sign in to RightMessage, then reload. If you chose Exit in the debugger, that tab keeps the published version; open the site in a new tab.

Switch it off

When you're done, turn the script off in Tampermonkey's menu or delete it. Once you're ready to go live on your own site, install the live snippet and remove the userscript so RightMessage doesn't load twice.
