Notion plugin for ChatGPT opens pages beside the chat

By Dave de Céspedes · Updated · 6 min read

TL;DR

On November 6, 2026, Notion released a ChatGPT plugin that opens a Notion page beside the chat. It works on any Notion plan and is on by default. You can type on the page or ask ChatGPT to edit it, and on Business and Enterprise you can ask it to suggest wording that stays pending until someone with edit access accepts it.

What changed

On November 6, 2026, Notion announced a Notion plugin for ChatGPT. The post says you use the Notion editor inside ChatGPT: create a page, watch it take shape as you chat, and edit it yourself without leaving the chat.

Notion's help page, Use Notion pages in ChatGPT, checked on November 9, 2026, is the setup reference. The panel opens or creates a Notion page beside the ChatGPT conversation. You can type on the page, and you can see changes as ChatGPT makes them. The help page links to the plugin at chatgpt.com/plugins/notion.

The panel works on any Notion plan and is on by default. You can open pages you have access to, and edit pages where you have edit access. If the workspace requires single sign-on, sign in to Notion with SSO first. In ChatGPT, the account has to be allowed to add the plugin. If a company manages ChatGPT, an admin may control whether the plugin is allowed. Notion's help page points to OpenAI's documentation for those controls.

The panel uses the same connection as Notion MCP. It works with one workspace at a time, in ChatGPT on the web and in the desktop app. Pages from another workspace do not open in the panel.

There are three ways to open a page:

  • Ask in chat, for example to open a project page or turn notes into a Notion page. If ChatGPT sends a link instead, ask it to open the page in the Notion panel.
  • Open Notion from the ChatGPT sidebar, then search by title, paste a page link, or pick a recent or favorite page.
  • Select New page. In an empty workspace you can also start a blank page or database, or choose a template.

On the page you can type directly, or ask ChatGPT to edit. You can ask it to leave a comment. On Business and Enterprise you can also ask it to suggest wording. The text stays the same until you, or a teammate with edit access, accepts the suggestion. That review step matches the accept-before-apply model in Notion MCP suggested edits.

Copy link at the top of the panel does not change the page's permissions. If someone needs access, Give access opens the share menu in Notion, where you can grant access if you have permission. Open in Notion leaves the panel and continues on the page in Notion.

A few jobs stay in Notion. The help page says the panel is not where you manage members, billing, or connections, change sharing and permissions, or use Notion AI. A link preview that needs a connected account, such as a private GitHub link, is added in Notion. A plain link can still be pasted in the panel.

Why it matters

This is the other direction from using a ChatGPT plan to pay for Notion Agent. That connection bills some Notion Agent chats to a ChatGPT Plus, Pro, or Go plan, on Business and Enterprise. The plugin opens Notion pages inside ChatGPT, on any Notion plan.

Akshay Kothari, Notion's co-founder, posted the same day and listed four separate paths: Notion with OpenAI models, ChatGPT with Notion through MCP, Notion with a ChatGPT subscription, and ChatGPT with the Notion plugin. He also said Notion is working on the same idea with other providers. That last line is his post, not a help-center date or plan.

A follow-up from Notion the same day says research in ChatGPT can be turned into a Notion database the team can keep using. Another follow-up shows asking ChatGPT to suggest edits, then continuing with the team in Notion.

Sharing, permissions, billing, and Notion AI stay in Notion. The plugin does not replace those settings. ChatGPT can also find other pages you can access in the connected workspace, even when they are not open in the panel. Usual page permissions still apply.

What to set up first

  1. In ChatGPT, open the Notion plugin and install it if needed. The help page links to chatgpt.com/plugins/notion.
  2. Sign in to Notion and pick the workspace. If the workspace requires SSO, sign in with SSO first. Review what you are sharing, then allow the connection. Already connected accounts start in a new chat.
  3. Open a page from the chat, from the sidebar, or with New page. Use the panel while you are online. It does not save unsaved edits on the device, and you cannot edit offline. If the connection drops, copy unsaved text before you reload.

On Enterprise, a workspace owner can turn the panel off for everyone. In Notion, go to Settings, Notion MCP, Manage workspace clients, and turn off Open Notion pages in ChatGPT. Notion checks that setting the next time an open panel loads or saves. After it is off, members can still use Notion in ChatGPT through chat, as long as ChatGPT is allowed to connect. If the workspace only allows approved AI apps, ChatGPT has to be on that list for the panel to work. The help page points to Notion MCP for connecting AI tools.
