# Extension

### Introduction

Extension is an advanced function for Messenger platform.

When a button’s hyperlink is connected with a website, you can select the prompt action to be an “extension”. Then when a customer clicks on the button, a website will be displayed directly on the current tab as an extension. This will not open any new windows or new tabs. 

{% hint style="success" %}
When using “Extension” function, the linked website only needs support for mobile devices. There’s no need for an extra desktop version of the website.
{% endhint %}
