Notion 3.8: Context for your agents

Notion 3.8 focuses on providing durable, shared context for agents and teams, allowing them to retain information even when switching tools or adding new members. The update enables MCP-compatible agents to read workspace context and update documents or task trackers, ensuring continuity without re-explaining workflows. Admins gain visibility and control through Notion MCP controls, which track tool connections, usage, and allow revocation of access as needed.

The update expands Notion’s integration capabilities, allowing agents to draw on context from external tools like HubSpot, Stripe, and Cloudflare. Teams can create account briefs using live pipeline data or incorporate billing details into customer reviews, with over 150 MCP connections available for broader tool compatibility. Skills can now be created, shared, and synced across platforms like ChatGPT and Claude via a new Skills API, centralizing agent training in Notion.

Version history has been upgraded to provide clearer records of changes across pages and databases, including highlighted edits, detailed database updates, and attribution. This ensures transparency for both agents and teams, allowing them to review, track, and restore prior versions with ease. The changes maintain visibility and security of agent-driven updates.

Notion now allows ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscribers to cover AI usage within Notion at no additional cost, connecting their plan to a GPT model directly. The feature is available for Business and Enterprise plans, with no markup added to subscriptions. Column permissions have also been introduced, enabling database owners to restrict access to specific properties for both people and agents.
