Can a movement be provoked by an opportunity attack?

Since neither ability says anything about allowing Opportunity Attacks to be provoked on movement that does not use an enemy’s actions, reaction, or movement then the general rule still applies. Note that the movement doesn’t have to be willing it just has to use their movement, action, or reaction.

When does a creature make an opportunity attack?

Yes, but only if the ability forces the enemy to move out of reach using their movement, action, or reaction. The rules state that only when the enemy uses their movement, action, or reaction to move out of your reach will they provoke an Opportunity Attack from you. From the PHB:
