Chatbot and website interaction

Hello,
I have been asked by a client to implement a chat bot on their charity website and am looking favourably at dialogflow.
During requirements gathering, there were two specific requirements that I am unable to confirm are possible using dialogflow.
Could you help me understand if the following are possible please?

  1. Is it possible to make the bot interact with the website?
    What I mean by that is, if the user clicks a hyperlink or tells the bot they want to do a specific task, the bot should not just respond with an answer; it should actually navigate the web page too.
    So, if the user lands on the website homepage www.example.com, the bot launches and asks the user what they would like to do.
    If the user types "I'd like to make a donation", the bot should navigate the website to www.excample.com/make-a-donation and then explain how to make a donation.

  2. Similar interaction is required the other way around as well, so I need the bot to react to the user changing specific DOM elements.
    For example, if the user picks a value from a drop down list, the bot needs to detect that value change and react with some text.
