Known issues we've tracked

PRODUCT (2026-07-09, vendor release notes): **Notion Workers are now shareable across teams** -- 'You can now share your Notion Workers': build a Worker once, distribute it to power Custom Agents across departments, with two permission tiers (`Can connect` = teammates use it; `Full access` = teammates can modify/repurpose it). Managed from the Developer Portal (Settings -> Connections). Example use: one teammate's Salesforce Worker powering sales + marketing agents org-wide. REMINDER on the money clock: Workers remain free until **August 11, 2026, when the credit system begins** (announced with Platform 3.5) -- shared Workers spreading through an org now will start metering then; audit which Workers teams depend on before the flip

NOTION 3.6 (2026-07-01, vendor releases page): the External Agents alpha from Platform 3.5 is now a headline feature -- **External Agents (Claude and Cursor first)** can be assigned tasks from a shared board, @-mentioned like teammates, and watched as they run; **multi-agent workflows** bring several agents into one UI to automate workflows end-to-end. Also shipped: **interactive HTML blocks** (agents build ROI calculators/quizzes/org-chart visualizers that live in Notion), **speaker identification in AI Meeting Notes** (mic-based) + audio file uploads, **Microsoft Office file support** (create/read PPTX/XLSX/DOCX), **Outlook Mail + Calendar integration**, 5 new MCP connections for Custom Agents (Mercury, Mixpanel, Miro, Box, ClickHouse), expanded model options (**Opus 4.8, Grok 4.3, GLM 5.2**), Custom Agent audit logging (Enterprise), and Windows CLI support. The 'Notion can't reach outside Notion' criticism is now largely obsolete

DEVELOPER PLATFORM 3.5 (2026-05-13, vendor releases page): Notion's biggest platform release of 2026 -- **Notion Workers** (hosted runtime: deploy custom code via CLI into a Notion-managed sandbox; **free during beta, pricing starts August 11, 2026** billed in Notion credits), **Database Sync beta** (sync any API source -- Zendesk, Salesforce -- into Notion databases), **bidirectional webhook triggers** (external apps can now trigger Notion workflows), Custom Agent Tools beta, a Notion CLI, an **External Agents API alpha** (Claude, Codex, and Decagon agents operating inside Notion -- waitlist), Agent SDK alpha, and a Developer Portal (app.notion.com/developers). Also notable: Notion MCP rebuilt to be 91% more token-efficient on database operations. Earlier in May: **Plan Mode** (5/7) -- agents ask clarifying questions and present a plan before bulk edits. Mark your calendar on the Workers pricing date if you build on the beta

PRODUCT + PRICING (2026-05-04 / 2026-05-05): Notion **Custom Agents** exited beta with admin-grade governance controls: **per-agent spend caps**, **workspace-wide credit caps**, **auto-pause on limit** (agents stop before exceeding budget rather than soft-billing over), **creator permissions** (control who in a workspace can build agents), and a **credits dashboard** for monthly spend visibility. Same window: **credit billing went live at $10 per 1,000 credits** as a paid add-on to Business/Enterprise plans. Notion's own help docs estimate ~30-60 agent runs per 1,000 credits -- so roughly $0.17 to $0.33 per agent run depending on workload complexity. The free-Skills-framework window that ran through 2026-05-03 is now closed. Material for any team that built workflows on Custom Agents during the free trial -- those workflows now meter. Sets up the comparison to n8n's per-execution pricing + Microsoft Agent 365's $15/user/mo flat rate (5/1 GA).
