Facebook messenger - add extension to drawer

I've got a basic (test) FB messenger bot working in PHP. I can receive messages and reply to them - all working fine.

I've been reading about chat extensions - where you can add an icon to the drawer that triggers a web component. I've gone through the documentation, but can't seem to make it work.

I've created a basic "hello world" page (just to test the concept) and tried to make this the home URL as described here. The domain is whitelisted and I get all the appropriate "success" responses (and when I do the status check calls, they give back the right details), but I'm not seeing anything in the drawer when I chat to the bot as a test user (on an iPhone).

I'm also not seeing anything attempting to load the "hello world" page at any time. Am I missing something fundamental here? What's the correct technique for making this appear?

Many thanks,

David

Cracked it! Was looking for it during a conversation with my own bot. It only appears in personal conversations elsewhere after having a conversation with the bot.
