I'm building a teams bot for work and my manager wants me to incorporate the bot with one of our websites. Is there a way for the bot to access one of our websites api's?

As a side question, another thing I'm looking to do is take a trigger from our website to initiate a 1:1 message. Such as a when a user clocks in on our website the bot could send a teams message to that user.

You can do this with a full PVA license and custom connectors:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/get-started-flow-dev

There is some example code for how to get a website widget to start a bot conversation here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-virtual-agents/configure-bot-greeting

I posted this question when I was quite new to bots, and now I understand I have posted this in the wrong forum as this is for power virtual agents and not using the SDK provided by the bot framework. I understand if this isn't your area but do you know if there is a way to do this with the bot SDK and not using PVA? We would like to have the ability for a bot to interact with our site but not at the cost of an PVA license. Would that be possible with webhooks/ connectors?

Absolutely! Take a look at the docs and repos for webchat https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/bot-builder-webchat-overview?view=azure-bot-service-4.0

You can ask questions in the githubs there if you run into issues.
