Chrome Extension : Gmail navigation

I am developing a chrome extension for Gmail. My extension shows the data from my website beside the Email body.

Its working fine if I go to a particular email directly or refresh the page.

But say if I move from inbox to a email or from one email to another, then my content scripts are not running.

I am not sure what could be the reason.

Gmail doesn't reload the page when you move from inbox to an email, it dynamically changes DOM. You should use MutationObserver to handle it.

// The following code handles new inserted nodes.
var observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {
    mutations.forEach(function(mutation) {
        console.log(mutation.addedNodes);
    });    
});

observer.observe(document.body, {childList: true, subtree: true}); 
// call observer.disconnect(); if you don't need observer anymore
