No more guessing what your agents are up to.

Notion Developer Platform
May 13, 2026
Introducing the Notion Developer Platform — new building blocks to sync any data source, build any tool, and orchestrate any agent:

• Database sync — pipe any data source into Notion
• Agent tools — build any workflow
• Webhook triggers — trigger Notion from any app
• External Agents API — bring any agent into Notion
• Notion Agents SDK — use Notion Agents anywhere
…plus a bunch of API improvements. Soon you won't need to be a developer to build on Notion — your agent will be one for you.
