Frequently asked questions

What is NextStep?

NextStep is an AI marketing operating system that combines social scheduling, drag-and-drop email, CRM, AI content generation, approvals, and a unified engagement inbox in one secure, multi-brand workspace.

Who is NextStep built for?

Owner-led small businesses, lean marketing teams, and consultants or agencies managing marketing for multiple brands — including organizations like nonprofits and churches. Standard plans support a single organization; Agency plans manage multiple client organizations from one parent workspace.

How does NextStep keep client data isolated?

Every record is scoped to a tenant ID. API routes, background jobs, webhooks, and media access all enforce tenant isolation. OAuth and API tokens are encrypted at rest, and all sensitive actions are written to an audit log.
