Yes, a vendor can offer a Page-follow invitation action. But first check what LinkedIn already lets your Page do. A Page admin can invite selected connections through LinkedIn; a Premium Company Page super admin can turn on LinkedIn's own auto-invites for certain content engagers. Neither action is a direct message or a new connection request. A third-party tool's feature claim does not change LinkedIn's audience, credit, or software rules.
The Page's own invitation screen is the baseline
LinkedIn says a Page super admin or content admin can select first-degree connections in Invite to follow. The invitation arrives as a notification from the admin's personal profile. It asks someone to follow the Page; it does not open a Page conversation. If your real task is to reply to a member who messaged the Page, use the separate Page messaging workflow instead.
Check the actual Page before estimating a campaign. LinkedIn requires Page details and a minimum number of the admin's connections before the control appears, and says the feature is unavailable to Pages with more than 100,000 followers. Its monthly invitation credits are shared across Page admins and renew on the first of the month. LinkedIn says it is changing credit amounts gradually, so a universal number copied from an older guide is a poor planning input. Read the balance shown to your admins.
LinkedIn already offers one narrow automatic route
A Premium Company Page super admin can enable LinkedIn's native auto-invites for members who publicly reacted to, commented on, or shared the Page's posts in the past 30 days. LinkedIn also describes engagement with an admin's post that mentions the Page. The control is for those engagers, not a general upload of prospects or a way to turn every post viewer into a follower. LinkedIn reports followers from auto-invites in Page analytics.
Premium Pages can also invite some non-connections, including followers of similar Pages. LinkedIn says that feature is rolling out, so check whether it appears for your Page. Members may opt out of Page invitations. The invitation-credit pool still matters: LinkedIn says an accepted invitation returns a credit, while withdrawing a manually sent invitation does not. Its automatic invitations are not shown in the usual Manage invitations view and cannot be withdrawn there.

A vendor action is a capability claim, not platform permission
Linked Helper's current help page documents an Invite to follow organization action in a campaign and warns admins about shared Page credits. That establishes what the vendor says its workflow can do; we have not run it on an account. It does not show that LinkedIn has approved the method or that it bypasses Page eligibility and credit rules.
LinkedIn says it does not allow third-party software or browser extensions that scrape, modify, or automate activity on its website, and says automated activity can lead to account restrictions. Ask a vendor exactly how its Page action works and have the account owner make the policy decision before connecting an account. A low daily setting or a successful demo is not an exception to that rule.

Test the action with the Page's real constraints
Before buying a tool, record the Page's admin roles, current credit balance, available audience controls, and whether Premium auto-invites are enabled. Use two colleagues who agree to a test: one first-degree connection of the admin and one person outside that relationship. In the native Page view, confirm who is eligible. If evaluating a vendor, ask it to preview the exact action, sender, recipient, and Page before sending anything. Then compare the resulting notification and credit balance in LinkedIn with the tool's event log.
Stop if the tool cannot explain which account issued the invitation, if it promises eligibility that the Page does not show, or if it cannot distinguish a Page-follow invite from a personal message. The test checks the selected accounts and configuration only; it is not evidence of a general allowance or a follower-growth rate.

Choose by the audience you actually need
For a small list of relevant first-degree connections, the native admin screen is a direct starting point. For recent content engagers, inspect the Premium Page control and its eligibility before evaluating a separate tool. If the job is to start a conversation rather than grow Page followers, a Page-follow invitation will not do that work; read the rules for Page messages and personal-account outreach separately. Keep invitation acceptance, new followers, and useful conversations as separate outcomes when judging the result.
