Notion Mail shuts down amid agent takeover

Productivity company Notion is discontinuing its email product, Notion Mail, on September 22. The company said it is shutting down its email inbox in favor of its AI agent offering. He noted that consumers are increasingly handing over the reins of their email to agents, and not opening their inboxes at all.

“As Notion agents have become more capable, we’ve seen more users hand over email workflows to them. Today, more than half of Notion Mail users manage emails without ever opening their inbox. So, we’re using agents to run your inbox,” the company said. A post on x.

Notion Mail is integrated with Gmail, meaning all emails in the inbox will remain intact. However, users will need to export draft and scheduled emails if they want to keep them. The company said users can export snippets and AutoLabel instructions and use them elsewhere, and emphasized that Notion’s email-based agents will continue to operate after Notion Mail closes.

Notion announced its email product in preview mode in 2024 after it acquired security-focused productivity startup Skiff. The company’s goal was to integrate email with Notion AI for users with features like auto-labeling, filtering and handling scheduling. The company made the product available to consumers in April 2025 to better compete with the likes of Superman. Fixer. New startups like AgentMail are stepping up with Notion’s thesis and trying to build an email service specifically for agents.
